Life has a rhythm; a melody, if you will. While sometimes the sound comes forth as a consonant integration of chords, there are other times that the sound produced is a screeching dissonant clash of noise. For the most part, no one wants bad experiences (dissonance). Moreover, we’d prefer things to work out positively (consonance). But the fact remains that we can’t always control any key changes, twists, or turns that life may throw at us. Consequently, fear of the unknown can paralyze us from moving into manifesting and producing the impossible. It’s not the fact that “it” can’t be done that makes it impossible. It’s the fear that halts many from stepping out into nothing and creating something. That fear results in a life; a very quiet one. A life that desires the sound of freedom and fulfillment to play in its soul yet is muzzled by the whimpers of silent “pass me not’s.”
Living out loud is more than a popular phrase. It means that you understand that each day you live brings you a step closer to fulfilled destiny. It means that you prayerfully and passionately pursue purpose. It speaks of life and the abundant living in your spirit that must consequently manifest in your life openly. It gives off the fragrance of fulfillment which is refreshing to the stale at heart or those that choose to live silently. It boldly announces its arrival of light to those that cower in dark corners while beckoning them to join in living brightly.
Brendan Francis, an Irish poet, once said, “No yesterdays are ever wasted for those who give themselves to today.” As I considered this, I can’t stress enough the importance of living for today. Yesterday has come and gone. It is now nothing more than a memory. If you spend today regretting yesterday, then tomorrow will turn into the yesterday you tried to avoid repeating. It’s not enough to just exist. But you must take an active role. You may be wondering how to take an active role in your life? You must assume the position as the conductor; the one that directs the rhythm of your life’s song. Do you need to slow down? Maybe even speed up so that you can catch up? Then change the time signature. But whatever you do, keep conducting…you must continue to live and do so out loud.
I challenge you today to evaluate your life’s melody. Does “she” sing confidently? Or does “she” even sing at all? If your life is void of rhythm…if it’s void of a heart’s melody, then it’s time to start orchestrating your life’s musical piece; something so beautiful that others can enjoy it like a symphony. If your life is producing a harmonious melody, then take the time to embrace every note. And continue to conduct the song of your life which would ultimately result in a standing ovation in heaven.
