Today I came across a quote by Earl Nightingale. This quote made me reflect on the reason's behind (R)evolve.
In so many aspects of life we often walk in the dark, alone and afraid. This is completely natural. I know, for me, sometimes the hardest thing to do it "Turn on my own light." I have often found that isolating myself from challenges or difficult times I may face throughout life. Why do I do this? Because it is the easy way out. It is somewhat safer to not push ourselves to our outer most physical and mental limits. It is often easier to keep our emotions and feeling inside when faced with tragedy. I have been there and done that, all too many times. And every time I go down that path, I always end up telling myself "I should have tried harder", "I should have given that extra effort" or I end up regretting how I handled certain situation (such as death or illness). Why do I find the "dark" an easier place to be. For me, it is because of fear. Fear of failure, fear of the unknown, fear of losing those you love. When we turn on that "Light" all of our fears are exposed. But, what I have found most recently, is that when that Light is turned on there is a world of opportunity awaiting us. There are people in your life that are there to support you no matter how hard you fall or how deep you sink. That light allows us to open ourselves to a world of new and exciting adventures. It allows us to find that inner drive to do things we never thought possible. It allows us to come to life and live for the moments we are given.
For me, (R)evolve is that expression of my evolution through those trying times. It is my way of turning that "Light" on and proving to myself that I can handle anything that is in front of me no matter how hard. Once we learn to turn on our own Lights the possibilities are endless as to what we can accomplish in our lives.
Live...Adapt...Evolve
