Adrift
Oh, how the propeller of your mind begins to spin as you descend the depths of despair. How fear grips you as you ponder upon the lack you suppose. The trudging of your inner man seems unending. How precious the light would be if you would but allow it to dawn upon your sea. How delightful it would be if you would sail into this cove of reprieve. For so long you have thought it uncharted and unobtainable, yet it is merely a turn away. Look at how you toil in the dregs of despondency. Realize that it is only your thoughts that have drifted you here; it is only your thoughts that will steer you clear. The pinnacle of humanity is simply the reckoning that you are the creator of your existence. You are the curator of your own experience. This is not some form of esoteric manipulative madness. But merely the truth of the power you possess: “As a man thinketh in his heart so is he...” (Prov. 23:7 KJV) You must not allow the demon of doubt and its cohorts in confusion to revel in the recesses of your mind. They will only create menageries of misfortune to thwart your progression in prosperity. They will pummel your pride and divert your direction causing you to trample truth and delight in deception. You must remember the words of wisdom given to you through “Invictus”: “I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.” (Henley,1875) Bow your head no more. Wipe the tears from your eyes. Allow truth to rise and dispel the darkness covering the divide. Take the authority invested in you and stand courageously in the divine. Covet faith and anchor yourself in knowing that that which you seek you will surely find if you but steady the helm of your mind.
