feeling asleep in your own life

Awakening to the Light Within You

You made it through the night, and now the world is waking up around you, asking for a performance you don't have. You feel asleep in your own life, drifting through the motions while the sun climbs higher and the day demands things you cannot give.

But hear this: there was a voice that entered a prison of deep sleep and whispered, 'Get up,' not to scold you, but to call you by name. The light that woke others from darkness is already inside you, waiting for you to open your eyes to what has been there since before the morning came.

You do not have to rush into the day to find it; you simply have to let the light you are begin to shine through the fog. The sleep was real, but the awakening is not something you must earn—it is already here.
