Set Your Life On Fire
“The best thing you could do is MASTER the chaos in you. You are not thrown into the fire. YOU ARE THE FIRE” – Mama Indigo
The smallest spark ignites the fire of passion that lives deep within your soul. When that passion bursts out, then anything is suddenly possible. That passion says that you will not give up. That you might get knocked down, but you will get back up. That you might fail, but you will keep trying until you succeed.
It is in the trying, failing and trying again that you learn just what you are made up of. It strips away the facades that you hide behind. It exposes the bones of what you are made up of.
The fires don’t burn the true you,
only the parts that are not you.
The Cherokees teach that your ancient ancestors came from the stars. Science has proven that your body contains stardust. Like the stars you burn with an inner fire.
Your eyes, the windows of your soul, shine with that inner fire. It is that inner focus that drives you forward. That inner fire is like a forge, in that it will burn away all of the things that don’t belong, leaving the pure beauty of your soul’s core.
Focus is like a bellows, which supplies air to the fire so that it breathes. That hot air rises to push you up out of the ashes. It is in that place inside your heart, deep within the soul where joy burns away the pain. Life isn’t ever what you thought it was. It is in fact, all about what it is possible to become. What you are truly capable of being.

If you have ever heated your home with a wood fire, then you know the importance of banking the coals at night. When you do that, then in the morning it is easy to get the fire going quickly. You need to bank your inner fires when you are being hard pressed. When you are going through the valley of death and darkness. If you keep the inner core burning brightly, it doesn’t matter what happens outside of you.
- The burning embers of your dreams will burst into flames.
- You will rise up again.
- You shall escape the darkness.
You shall rise, lighting the way out of the darkness with a brightly burning all consuming passion, to change yourself and thereby change the world.
What matters most is your own self confidence. Your own beliefs. Your own self love and self-trust. Because when the bridges are burning, sometimes that only way out is through. When you have to walk down that road of fire, you are only going to be able to do it if you believe you can.
Sometimes in order to rise higher, you need to burn the boats containing plans B – Z and realize that plan A is the only option. You have to be all in. You have to surround yourself with those who will not be afraid of the changes you are going through, because they are transforming themselves. People who will believe in your dreams and will fan the flames of your fire. The chain reaction of one heart on fire lighting another, and another until there is light for all.
“You have to decide what your highest priorities are and have the courage – pleasantly, smilingly, non-apologetically – to say “no” to other things. And the way to do that is by having a bigger “Yes” burning inside” – Stephen Covey
Seek that path that demands more from you than you currently know how to give. Motivation comes from that fire within us, an awakened soul.
Be fearless
in seeking your transformation
You have the capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love, and to be greater than all of your hopes, desires, dreams and inspirations.
