Springs
Man has been using wellsprings for years as a source of
clear water. Most of our settlements were based on the nearest wellsprings. They
move on when one dries up to find another. Their lives depended on it.
The fascinating thing about springs is that however polluted
they may be, they manage to return to their pure forms with time. They cleanse
their selves as they produce more and more water. No matter how polluted they
may get; how dark the water may turn; and how sore the water may taste, their innate
nature is to produce pure and clean water. Hence, they eventually deliver that.
We all have springs in ourselves, a spring that brings forth
to this world a new and pure product. It springs out of us naturally; everyone
has their natural spring. A spring that defines who they are, where they came
from, and whom they came after. It speaks to the world that you are irreplaceable
and one of a kind.
The spring within us can be diluted or polluted by what we
see, hear, or have been taught but destroyed. Through time, it returns to its
purest form. The traumas, struggles, hurts, and pain we go through might cause
our springs to lose their pure forms. We might be filled with bitterness, hate,
anger, or sorrow. The things we go through might corrupt us and supposedly change
our looks and habits. However, it will not be permanent unless we choose to be
in that state. Our springs will eventually cleanse themselves, but if we choose
to be in that similar state, we can disrupt it, pollute it or even poison it as
the water springs up. We have the right to choose how our springs may come out.
I used to be in continuous fear of losing myself. I was anxious
about being polluted by something poisonous and ending up perverted. We all have
that fear, the fear of being a copycat, the fear of being fake, the fear of
being inauthentic, and many other fears. It is natural to feel this fear
looking at what we go through and seeing what we see on social media and in the
entertainment industry. We see sellouts selling out. We developed a toxic
culture of losing ourselves to something famous and trendy. We also have a fear of theft. We fear our
products being stolen, our pure products turning into cheap knockoffs. It is a
legitimate fear.
There is a beautiful story in the first chapter of the bible.
In that story, there is a man called Jacob. Jacob starts to live in a foreign
land, mixed with the people and their lifestyles. This man was very productive
and amassed great wealth. He dug wells for his crops and animals. The wells were
abundant with water; the people saw this and took it off him. He moved along
and dug another well, which turned out the same result. This kept on going as Jacob
kept on digging more wells. Finally, the people stopped as they could not stop
him from finding a new spring.
This story taught me to believe in what I have inside me, no
matter the circumstances. The spring within me will keep springing and giving birth
to something pure and clean if I choose it to be. I knew that nothing outside could
hurt my spring but myself. The power to choose what happens to it is mine, not
my circumstances.
So, as I bring my blog to an end, I say to you, trust in
your inner springs. Nothing can take it away from you or pollute you. You have
the full right to decide on what comes forth from you. Let that spring, spring out
of you in abundance, and rinse your outside.
Be all
you can be and spring.✌
