Be Wary Your Flame

The Causes Of Our Extinguishing

We all have a flame that burns inside us...

Or at least we used to.

So many people...

Have no flame left...

No passion...

No energy...

No strength...

Nothing.

What happened to that flame that used to burn so bright?

For the flame to disappear...

There are only a few things that could have occurred.

You may have lost hope...

Faith...

Became disillusioned with the way things are...

And allowed the flame to burn through what little fuel is left...

Leaving nothing but ash.

Or perhaps...

You tried to take everything that has happened in life...

The pains...

The challenges...

The difficulties...

And added them to the flame...

Used them as fuel to push yourself forward...

In anger...

In spite...

In pure vengefulness...

But you allowed it to push you beyond your limits...

And the result...

Was the the fires got too hot...

Spread too fast...

And you got burned.

To a crisp...

And now that the flame is out...

You are wondering if it was ever even worth it.

Or perhaps...

There was something that you were so desperately passionate about...

You put everything into it...

You mind...

Your heart...

Your soul...

Everything...

And you sacrificed so much to obtain it...

More than your realized.

And in the aftereffects of everything you understood...

That you sacrificed some of the wrong things...

Letting go of certain parts of your life...

Missing out on others...

Things that you now know...

You’ll never get back.

Between how much you dedicated...

And how much you sacrificed...

You now find yourself in a place where you have nothing left within but ashes.

In all of these ways...

We lose our flame.

What makes it more difficult...

Is that once the flame goes out...

It is difficult to start the flame again...

Which is all the more reason to be wary your flame.
