Trapped, stuck in a life that you have created for yourself. Doing what is always expected of you whether that be for better or worse. The same monotonous routine over and over again. Where is that child that used to dream? You know the one, at least you did. The funny thing is, that this child is still with you, waiting, missing you. Is this the stifling, do not speak unless spoken to…maybe.
That old logic longer applies here. The teacher has left the room and put you in charge now. Do you follow the rules or allow a bit of mischief and fun?
What happens when this life of yours has come to an end? Here lies such and such, boy, their house was so clean. Everything in their life was scheduled, buttoned up, neat and tidy.
Think about it. Really. Take a minute and think about it. Is life not meant to be an adventure. Is this life of yours to live or are you living on someone else’s ideals and norms?
The cute, little box, all wrapped up. The checklist with all the I’s dotted and T’s crossed. The years of perfect attendance. What? Are you after the gold watch? Go get that gold watch yourself, do not wait for someone else to give it to you.
Why spend a life staring at the same four walls. Why pen in the chickens, let them suffer in captivity. You are free to live as you wish. Live life on your own terms.
Here it is. Choose a life of conformity if you wish. If that is not what you desire then do not let anyone block your path. Your life is yours to live, live it. Love it. Let that little girl, that little boy inside of you lead the way. Lose the fear and find your adventure.
There is no such thing as too big for your britches. Let those that choose to stay small, stay small, while you go big. Go big and make the world your home.
Channeled message from Jim Bridger, born March 17, 1804. Jim was an American mountain man, trapper, Army scout and wilderness guide who explored and trapped in the Western United States. He explored the Rocky Mountains from southern Colorado to the Canadian border and had conversational knowledge of French, Spanish and several indigenous languages. Bridger discovered several overland shortcuts, one of which shortened the Oregon Trail by 61 miles. Jim was an avid story teller too, most were true stories with a few tall tales added in for good measure.
