The Power to Rise
Your life is your life.
But do you feel it? Really feel it?
Do you ever stop, breathe, and taste it fully?
Don’t let the drumbeat of expectations drown you. A life of others’ designs is a prison. Don’t let your life be molded by anything less than your own wild energy.
Ride the waves of uncertainty. Be uncomfortable. The role model you need is on the other side of it.
Scream into the wind, laugh with the thunder, let the lightning illuminate your very existence like the crashing of Mjolnir. Let your heart race and your body pulse with freedom. Close your eyes and never think about the choice you need to make. Rather, let yourself flow towards the people, the places, the sounds that touch that sense of ecstasy in your soul.
This is what it means to live.
You are a storm waiting to break. Shatter the silence with every step you take. Let your soul crack open, and let the lightning pour through. Feel the fire in your chest, and don’t be afraid to burn. Brightly. Ferocious. And with love.
This life is not a quiet waiting. It’s not about sitting and ruminating on your next step.
It’s a mad dash towards the edge of everything you’ve ever known. To the precipice of what’s real. Ready to glide with the heavenly winds of the Gods into the unknown.
It’s running with reckless abandon and shouting to the stars, and the angels - I am here. I am alive.
And so what if you fall? Who cares where you land? Where you crash?
Don’t let your life be forced into compliance. Be defined by things you love.
The light inside you is nourished by this love.
And yes, sometimes, it may not be much light. When you’ve fallen. When you’re broken. When you’ve left, never to return.
But the rise is always worth it.
Never relinquish this power to rise.
From the ashes, you will come back with more power than you’ve ever known. It is the roar of your spirit that will carry you higher, unfurling your wings into the open sky.
This is the pulse. The heartbeat of being. You hear that silent calling when you close your eyes to the music. Feel it. Let it move you.
And let me ask you. Do you think you exist to give others a free ride? Is your purpose to fix others? Do you think your happiness lies in how you keep others safe whilst you perch precariously on the edge?
Never quite knowing, never quite seeing yourself. This is the darkness you create for yourself.
But you will come to realize that we are all just Gods in design. We are all just part of a rich tapestry, woven into this experience we call life. And we refuse to let life drain you of your vibrancy and flow.
The moment you trust yourself, you break through the walls of fear.
You shed the chains that others placed upon you, their judgments, their labels, their limitations.
You are not theirs to shape. You are your own becoming.
Can you hear that calling, amongst the noise, amongst the people, when you’re finding your place in the rave?
Step into the unknown, where reality and fantasy dance together, where your spirit soars above the mundane, where you see yourself as you truly are: limitless, radiant, and free.
In this space, you discover your path. Not paved by anyone’s hands but your own, marked by the sparks of your own fire.
You see the invisible line, that seems to take you on your journey - from place to place, from person to person. Do you see it? The universe’s rhythm — it guides you gently, pulling the right people, the right moments, into your orbit.
Can you feel the vibrations of your being? Your energy is your compass. Let it guide you, and your feelings are your truth. Let them be your open heart.
Trust the path you walk, even when it twists and turns in ways unknown. Can you do that for me?
Because this is the dance of life, and you are leading it. And you rise, taking those who are meant to be with you, with you.
Can you release the wings on your back that have kept tied for so long? Why must you wait for others before you accept yourself like the angel you are?
Can you hold onto yourself when you’re high and flying through the skies? And taste the freedom?
See, it’s not a sudden shift but a slow, steady unfolding. Like a flower pushing through the soil, rooted in the deep, unspoken knowing that you’ve always been meant for this.
It’s the energy you’ve always known, though you’ve never quite seen it. But now, it’s getting clearer. It is the light that guides you through the dark, the wind that carries you when you let go.
Feel it. Trust it. It’s always been here, and it will always be. Like tattoos on your skin, reminding you of every energy, every piece, every flash of brilliance and love and connection. Whispering to you when you need guidance, pushing when you need strength, softening when you need peace.
And as you rise, you will lift others with you, and the energy will multiply, moving outward in waves of light and love, an unstoppable force of creation, fueled by the power of the universe and the untamed force of your essence, the immortal blaze of your heart.
Your life is your life. Let it be true and everlasting.
Feel that pulse of immeasurable strength, wisdom, and love. Be ferocious and burn bright and step into your power to rise and rise and rise.
