One summer back in the early 2000s. I found myself in a mall wandering aimlessly, lost in thought, not looking for anything in particular. I went out that weekend because I needed to clear my mind and do something different. After many years, I conceded to the notion that I was drifting through life. There was a gut wrenching admission that I was in a rut. The monotony of everyday life was taking its toll on me, and the weight of that feeling was heavy. I was desperate to add excitement to my life. It dismayed me why the dreams and goals of my youth eluded me. I hadn't achieved the things I had hoped for since I was a young man. It also frustrated me that I couldn't find a solution to get out the rut I was in desperation sank in as the life I wanted for myself and my family slipped farther away. To top it off. I couldn't tell if financial lack acted like a salt added to an open wound or if black was actually the source of my agony and the slew of emotions that caused meditation, ripping my hair out or trying something new, wasn't giving me the answers I needed. I was envious and confused as I watched people walk by me with a smile on their face as they shopped, buying whatever they wanted. Why did they appear happy and carefree? And how did they get that way they had what I wanted and I wanted to know what it was. It rubbed my soul raw to be short on cash and it took effort to feel some level of genuine happiness, something everyone else seemed to experience readily. I wondered, what am I doing wrong, what's holding me back from experiencing life on a higher plane of fulfillment? Those questions caused me to wonder if there were more to life than what I was experiencing. There were no answers to dozens of questions why I felt incomplete. The thought left me wondering why I lived with an intrinsic feeling that something destined me for bigger things greater than what I was living at the moment that would impact the world.
