FLAME

FLAME

When there is a fire, what we see is the flame, it is the proof and evidence of combustion, it is the product of a spark. Flames are mostly temporal, and can only be sustained by continuous, and consistent fuelling of the fire. Fuel for flames can come in different forms, and degrees depending on its source, purpose, and function.

If we must keep the flames alive, we must continue to refuel. Sometimes, we are incapable of refueling, we may need others to help us blow our flames back to life. Like Albert Schweitzer once said, "In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit".

We cannot let the flames of our fire burn out, we cannot allow our zeal, enthusiasm, and eagerness to achieve our dreams and visions be put out by the water of failure, and delay. Irrespective of what happens along the way we must keep the flames alive because, it gives light to you and others, it is a signal of hope and brightness, it is a sign that it is not yet over.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir once said, "Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement." Give attention to the little sparks in your life, the seemingly irrelevant talents, the now unrecognized gifts, they can become the vehicle that takes you to your most desired destination.
