“There is a whole lot of them and only one you!”—Khalilah Liptrot
As I wrestled within my call to pastor, her words pierced my consciousness and shattered my glass house of excuses—only one you. Sojourners, as you sift through your dreams and ideas please save yourself some time, energy, and emotional capital. The calling to bring forth your unborn potential is not abated because others with similar interests and gifts are choosing to give birth to themselves unapologetically. There are over 7 billion people on this planet. If every human being decided to write a book and you decided to silence your own desire to write because so many others are writing, your choice to dishonor your Soul’s intent would create a void in both literary history and human consciousness. Only you can author the works nestled with you. Only you can preach the sermons calling out to you. Only you can design the office buildings and homes within your imagination. Only you can write those lyrics. Only you can choreograph those movements. Only you can create, structure, and build your company from the ground up. Only you can raise your children. Only you can do your work. And fortunately with 7 billion other people around, you will not do it alone! Declare it with me: I AM A [insert your stuff here] and I AM DOING IT…REGARDLES!!! Ok so I kind of whispered the whole pastor thing y’all pray for me!

A pause does not indicate an end nor is it necessarily a conclusion of progress and forward movement. A pause in progression is an opportunity for you to assess, adjust, and (re)align with what is forthcoming.
Learn to embrace the pause as you do a semicolon, comma, ellipsis, and period. These grammatical distinctions are not correlated with finality exclusively. These literary tools are employed to clarify text, to communicate, and to ensure that the intended message flows coherently. Embrace the pause—your /life/flow depends on it!

It is my custom as a book lover to browse, to touch, and to linger with books. I love books. I love the words and the worlds they contain. I love reading. I approached one of my favorite sections only to discover disarray. The shelves were nearly empty and the remnants of books that remained were not stocked neatly—the books were all out of sorts. I approached with all of this love for books and I exclaimed, “Oh no it’s empty!!!” I walked closer and I was greeted by a piece of paper taped to my favorite section and the note read: “LEAVE OPEN FOR RESET.” I looked around at other shelves and this note appeared there as well… (KLB Journal Entry 06.09.2014) |
