Cupid's arrow was sharper then she'd thought.
When it struck,
it struck hard.
The Ego disguised as the heart,
was definitely unaware of the spell
that cupid's arrow had injected in her once it hit.
----------------------
She was on a yellow brick road to a place called her Destiny,
but never did she imagine that this road
would lead her down the darkest of Alley's!
Yet, she knew she was strong.
And welcomed the challenge...
Her Ego was in tip top shape.
She knew she was hardcore.
She was a Warrior.
She wanted to achieve Pure Platinum Goddess-hood
and was willing to walk through the hottest of fires
just to get there!
But boy was it Hot!
And Dang, it really burned her!
But she wasn't about to give up.
Especially after how far she had already travelled!
However,
She knew that as a wise Warrior...
Sometimes a shift in direction
was absolutely necessary
in order to out-smart
the evil fire breathing Dragon ahead
that was filling her path with a smoldering heat wave that could kill an entire army!
She knew she had to forge a new path...
She immediately gathered herself,
and began to look around at all the weapons she had bought
to help navigate her to a new road.
She let out a huge sigh of disbelief!
All the tools she had invested in,
got burned away in the red hot heat
of this fire breathing dragon she was about to face!
Her shoulders slumped in disappointment.
Perhaps she should have valued her weapons a bit more
and focused less on being strong enough to handle the heat..
She cursed her pride!
He had let her fall again.
The only beast that ever really won against her...
Was in fact her pride..
And with each battle,
it weakened her more and more..
As she sat there, empty handed, she decided to just close her eyes,
and slowly breathe real deep..
With each breathe,
she welcomed her struggles.
She welcomed her disappointments.
She welcomed her discomforts...
As each one lifted,
it freed her inside from the heaviness she felt
was chaining her down.
And there she saw it...
underneath all that heaviness inside was a beautiful light.
She wanted to go to it..
It was such a warm inviting light.
Not scorching hot like the fire breathing dragon path she was on.
So she decided to follow this new path instead.
As she went closer,
she realized there was a beautiful Goddess sitting there.
It was her!
Underneath all that struggle...
and heaviness of battling her pride and Ego's heat,
was a beautiful Goddess imprisoned inside her.
She realized then and there that her focus being always
out there...
Resisting by
Putting tons of efforts towards conquering an undefeatable
fire breathing dragon,
was really just an optical illusion she created with her Ego.
The only Princess locked in a prison
was her.
Her True Self.
But she didn't have to battle anything.
No fire breathing dragon.
No Darth Vader.
No Dr. Evil..
Nothing.
She just had to accept her self
in the now moments.
Shadows and all.
Welcome them with open arms..
And she was free!
Free from the self inflicted prison of fear!
When she opened her eyes,
she was sitting in her chair, in her beautiful home.
Coffee next to her laptop.
Blog opened and waiting...
She smiled real big and began typing...
