"Which version of you will be waiting on the other side? Purpose is not lost in chaos. Creativity is not lost in chaos. Inspired action can be taken in spite of chaos." (Wemi Opakunle)

These words inspired me today, I wanted to share so that it could lead to more. A clearer way for some of us.

Before I move on, just to say, for those who are willing to understand what is there inside, only thing you need to do is look for it carefully. Because you won't believe how crystal clear some things are.

It wasn't easy, although it may seem like, deciding to be open, right there, here.

I will tell you a lot of stories; my experiences, denials, mistakes, pathways... Only when I feel it's the time. At the moment, it's like getting into a cold - hot water for me. Despacito. Not ready to leave the coast, yet I'm discovering in what cost.

I have decided to regularly share inspiring messages here. We all need to hear those words, see them from someone else, even we think we know them by heart.

We are human; not perfect, and according to me, that is the true perfection. Human with its flames and errors, trying to correct them is a creation of gifted journeys of our sacred minds, to us.

Getting back to today's topic, a woman, who I somehow feel her energy from overseas shared this inspiring message. I have asked those questions at least a thousand times inside, but never let them out. It was time to set my sails.

Truly, we are going through an unusual situation. Some, or maybe most of us discovered the miscalls we have made in our daily lives, unconsciously. It's alright. It is amazing that life has given a chance to direct our own lives according to what we truly want and do not want to do.

No one has an exact prediction about the end of this situation, but believe it or not humanity has each other. A view with glasses, for someone who is astigmatic, it means everything. We had a chance to observe our lives from someone else's shoes. How fortunate are we and how valuable this really is!

I don't know who you are, or who you thought you were but, if you are here, then you're not lost in that "made up chaos", which is glorious, something to be proud of, thank yourself.

Seeing it somewhere else than your mind, means so much, so as you know we should take action, to determine our own lives. If you regularly find yourself scrolling through social media, it's because someone studied your perceptions really hard, and their product was always you. To get you, on their hook. You're helping make someone else's expectations come true, instead of focusing on your own.

Don't let them get that much of a hold of you. You are special, so as your time. Step back and observe how well their marketing strategies designed to get your attention, because in that pond, you are one of the any. But you know this is not true, don't let them succeed. Make your own plans. Slay your own dragon, don't hold a knife, be the sword.

Create your own sword. Let that sword be your goals, desires, what you want out of this short life. Don't waste your time on something that is less important for you. Focus on you. What you want. It's not too late, you can take it all back. I'm not saying to close your social media accounts. Just recognize. Recognize what are they taking from you and ask yourself if they are giving anything that much worthy in return. Is there anything more valuable than the time they are stealing from you, but you're the one letting them to do so. When you're 'accepting' that thousand words of 'terms of use and privacy policy'. I can assure you that there are always loopholes, if that's what you're truly looking for.

Think about the aspect of your sword. Does it have any diamonds on it? What is it that makes it unique and special? Does it carry your ambition? Do you want it enough? Are you the one who wants it, or are they the expectations of another kind of 'any'? Don't let them turn you into one of their any.

That sword can be anything. For an instance, it's my words for me.

We know the pen is mightier than the sword. Change and recreate that sword, for you.

Be the one on your story, because this is your story and you can no longer watch it from the back of the scene, or with the audience.

Now, go write your own story, make your own plans on it compatible to you; because you don't deserve to be a side character or a part of any extra crowd!
