We must give ourselves license to just be, and not BE labelled… this allows for possibility.
This is me just “being”, allowing for the possibility of getting out of my own way.
Getting out of our own way means we need to take personal accountability for our emotional baggage. Often times we view that baggage as negative, a better way of looking at it is to relate it to a caterpillar in a protective cocoon, that emotional baggage like the cocoon helps us to build resiliency. Once we have developed that resiliency and the beauty that comes with it, it is our responsibility not to stay in the cocoon but like the butterfly emerge and take flight.
For me, that means transformation. In 20 years, though I will be the same vessel, I aim to be a more enlightened spirit.
In Moses Sumney’s song, “Me in 20 years”, he tells the story of a “cavity” (being his former lover), getting in the way of his journey. My interpretation of the song was slightly different; the cavity was myself getting in my own way along my journey of growth and enlightenment.
At the end of the song, Moses asks the question “have I become the cavity?”, rhetorically he responds “ask me in 20 years”. What if we take accountability and assume we are our own cavity, how might that impact our journey over the next “20 years”?
This is me getting out of my way…
