Birds Fly, Fish Swim

Birds fly and fish swim. That is what they were made to do. Putting them in a different environment will constraint what they were inherently created to do, and born to be. That is how it is when we are put in an environment that seeks to either repress or suppress us, or attempts to conform us into a generic definition or expectation of who they want us to be.

This Easter, I reflected back on my life, and I exhaled in relief because I was living my authentic life, and manifesting the gifts and talents in me, and in being free to be who I am. How did I get here? I refused to settle for less. I rebelled against the framework I found myself in that attempted to structure and define me according to who they determined me to be. And when I refused to conform, I was marginalized. I could have caved in and subscribed to what they were peddling, but I thank God for the freedom I found in Christ. 

Being free in Christ means being free to soar, and free to shine, and not dimming your wattage for nobody. Why exist at 60 watts and be accepted into the clique, if you were made to be 100 watts? If being your authentic self ruffles feathers, then you may be in the wrong place. Find the courage to break out and find your tribe. And if you can't find them, create them! Send out the clarion call and be your authentic self. Trust and believe, the folks in your frequency will hear your call, and sync to/with you. And suddenly the marginalized one will suddenly be harmonized with kindred spirits, and being unrepressed authentic!
