Monday Storytelling: I took a road trip
(Sign up for new storytelling videos once a week.)
I believe there is a constant war going on in our soul. It’s the war between shrinking back or rising up to the challenges that come our way. One day I took a much need road trip because this war was just becoming a little too much for me. I needed to get away and figure things out.
You see, I’m normally someone who doesn’t have the best habits or discipline; however, lately, I’ve been doing really well. I have a couple of awesome jobs I really like. On top of that, I’m pursuing my dreams and using my gifts and talents. Things are going great. When things go great, I notice that I sometimes I want to change things up. I don’t get this.
I’m also someone who likes to control things and I wanted to figure out why I do this so I can eliminate this problem in my life. In essence, I wanted to figure out a formula to control life. Because truth is, life can be messy. If you don’t experience struggle or hardship in life, you’re probably living life in a bubble and not growing, challenging, and reaching your potential.
The thing is: “There is no solution to life. The only way to go through life is to live it. To go through the ups and downs and learn from it. @LnLRevolution.” To grow into knowing more and more of yourself, so you can learn to master your weaknesses and capitalize on your strengths.
I wrote this song, War, after my road trip. Once I realized I couldn’t figure out how to avoid the struggle, pain, and drama in life, I realized that’s just life…we experience struggle, pain, and drama. However, I’m not going to leave it there because that’s not the main point.
The main point is that we can decide to either shrink back or rise up to the challenge to whatever life throws our way. We are more powerful than we think and if we decide to use the powerful spirit and mind we all have, we can win this war in life by becoming stronger and wiser and becoming exactly the amazing and talented person we were meant to be.
Lyrics to the song:
Another day the sun is rising
Hit the road
Turn on my tune
On the radio
Wide open space feel like I’m free
Hit the gas
No place to go
Just drive to anywhere
Taking time
Need a break from myself
There’s a war inside
Ready to break out again
This war
Will last all of my life
Need a way to getaway
From the insanity
Woah…there’s a war inside my very soul
Woah…constant drama for the rest of my life
I’ve wondered what is wrong with me
Am I going crazy
Losing it
Or acting out
They told me it’s all in my mind
Go to bed
When you wake up
It will all be fine
But all hell broke loose for me
All my guts
Spilled on the floor
Could not contain myself
I said there she goes again
Here’s to the cycle
Of the circus
Playing in my mind
