The Line in the Sand
Don’t Waste that Anger
5th of August, 2021.
The line in the sand.
Of course, there was no actual line; there was no sand.
But there was a line drawn in our heads and our hearts.
On one side, crippling fear and anger, and the way things were.
On the other, a stand against the bullshit - mostly our own.
When Nick told me he was angry, I once again learned how in alignment we were.
I was angry too, at a whole lot of things.
But it was mostly at myself.
Things I got wrong.
Recently and in the last few years.
Relying too much on others.
Letting things get away from me.
Getting too comfortable.
Way too comfortable.
There are two ways anger can go.
Destruction is the most common.
It's hard to channel after all.
But it can be used for good.
It will be used for good.
I'm not going to lie, I now have a chip on my shoulder.
And I've realised, I like it.
It feels like a fire reignited in me.
A fire that will burn it all to the ground.
And in the process be a leader and inspiration for others.
In a world full of darkness, be the light.
So we both stepped over that line.
A commitment to each other and ourselves.
No more bullshit.
Each of us knows what to do.
We just have to be willing to step over that line.
Until next time,
Marco
