Of all the elements of nature, I find fire to be the most useful. I have always had a serious problem destroying things... it started with toys and evolved into destroying relationships and my reputation. I AM the attention deficit destroyer and typically, nothing stands in my way giving me every chance to make matters worse.
So fire destroys. It brings buildings down, kills masses of people, and has the ability to destroy everything in its path. But fire can also destroy enemies. It can cook our food, get us to work at 65 mph, keep us warm, and melt things down to build these very machines we communicate on. Fire isn't all bad... its just not utilized to its full potential.
I have been growing a whole lot lately. In a moral and a personality standpoint... not so much physically, unfortunately. Every opportunity I get I leap and to my advantage, I have seemed to be hitting the ceiling every time. Things are shaping up, the people around me are starting to respect me as a human being again, and my liveliness is shining through the window panes in my eye sockets.
My happiness has become my motivation, my work ethic, and my replenishment. I am refueling my life with positive energy and its driving me into a nirvana unlike any I've ever felt with substances. I've proven, most importantly to myself, that I CAN make my own dream fall into reality. I CAN be better than I had expected myself to be 6 months ago, and I CAN be an overachiever if I keep pushing.
I fully intend to continue to take each day one at a time and each problem head on... one at a time. Seeing is believing... so take an extra powerful hop on that lonesome bunny trail you seem to have ended up on and land yourself on the next fork in the road.
