The Sword in the Stone

Okay. I've felt like lately my words have been yelling at me from the inside. While normally I would wish it were words toward my novel (I am currently in the process of writing a trilogy), lately what I've been saying has been receiving many compliments.
So, in lieu of this insight as of late... This post will be a self-structured one. I decided to go off the relationship with others topic and work on relationship with self.

I hope that most of you reading this blog know the movie (the one the title is named after). There are plenty of versions of King Arthur, but this one is one of my favorites.

Something sparked my mind today on the fact that we all have come to our own unique "hard place." Some of you are still in it. We are all placed in a troubled present so that one day our future may grow from it. Some of you have already found your progressive future. There are so many though, who do not get a better future because they are often repeating their non-progressive behaviors. But there are a few... just a few, who are lucky enough to meet their "sword in the stone."

What is it that led them there?

Well, what led Arthur to it?

A cooky ol' wizard you say?

Well, what if I told you that every single person is an "Arthur in the making?"

During the movie, Merlin told "Wart" that he was meant for great things. Wart kept arguing with Merlin. "I'm not..." was often used in his sentences. He followed Merlin but even after he was crowned a king, he was afraid of what that kind of responsibility would bring him. Wart was truly afraid of his destiny.

Often times, LIFE (AKA Merlin) will bring us to our destiny and we are too afraid to pull it out of the stone because of our fear of the responsibility. We tell ourselves, "I'm not..." to argue our way out of it. Instead of "fight" we turn into "flight" mode.

The few who meet their sword are the ones who are ready to pull it out of the stone. In reality, we are all given a destiny... but we must be willing to accept and assert ourselves into it before we can ever benefit from it.

Free yourselves from the fear of the responsibility and gain a strength in knowing that your sword is awaiting you.


I hope you liked my tid bit for the day!

Have a good night!
