Stoking the Fire
Written by Lifecoach Brodie
Any many of you know, who follow me on Facebook and Twitter, I love to share quotes. I liken quotes to kindling ~ power-packed little reminders that can act to fuel the bigger fire that already burns within.
For some of us, that fire is already blazing, while for others it can sometimes feel as though it’s down to the very last smoldering ember. When we get to this point, we can tend to be overcome by fear that we will never rise to become the incredible beings we know we are capable of being.
Although the flames may have ceased, it's important to remember that the ember still holds that potential for the flames to rise again.
“From a little spark may burst a flame.” ~ Dante Alighieri
“Conflict is the beginning of consciousness.” ~ M. Esther Harding
In cave-dweller days, there was always a fire keeper for the tribe. When the tribe would travel from place to place, it was the fire keeper’s job to carry the ember from one fire to the next. He would never attempt to carry the actual flame. When the tribe arrived at their destination, the firekeeper would carefully unload the tiny ember, and in the right conditions, with the finest kindling, he would set the fire ablaze for the tribespeople to warm themselves, cook their food, and so everyone could see through the night’s darkness.
“If the world is cold, make it your business to build fires.” ~ Horace Traubel
Some nights are darker and some brighter. Some people’s fires are blazing more than others ... but we all have the same spark!
“Basically we are all the same human beings with the same potential to be a good human being or a bad human being ... The important thing is to realize the positive side and try to increase that; realize the negative side and try to reduce. That's the way.” ~ Dalai Lama
Following a long cold journey, there’s nothing like a crackling hot fire to warm the hands and prepare to apply oneself to the next great enterprise, whether that requires resting up for the coming day, dancing ecstatically in this moment, or joining another in celebration of this very day that has risen.
“I'm just so honored that the universe chose me to be the spark that has set off a raging inferno.” ~ Cindy Sheehan
