The Pill

“I need my pill”, he cried.
But the pill stood still. Old and forgotten in a safe gloomy dark cold place, it is waiting for a prescription. Oh! I forgot to mention that in order to get well, you need a prescription. A prescription for living. Or else you die. Not that physical death but a more slow and painful one. Yes that is right I am talking about the death of your soul. My latest job was to motivate people when they were feeling down. I was to hand them that little secret pill that would make them want to live again, face life again, find a meaning for it, find that purpose they are hear to accomplish; in short, find themselves.
Yes, I need my pill.
You see no matter what people will tell you about finding yourself and ways to do it, if the acceptance does not come from within you, it will never come. People can prattle all day long, giving you a headache, but they will be just making sounds. I mean you can hear the raging of the hurricane but have you ever listened to it? You can hear the mass shouting but have you ever wanted to take a minute and listen to them?
Listening is the key my friend. And it is only through listening that you can make a difference. Not just any listening, but listening to your self. Listening to this being that is you and really understanding what ever this trapped breath of life is telling you. It is never too late. It might be tough in the beginning, it might require lots of sacrificing, lots of heartaches and lots of obstacles may exist on your path, but in the end what will prevail is you and only you can make it happen. You might have made the wrong choice to live as you are right now or maybe conducting your daily chores, but it is never to late to undo the mistake if you really are sure that it is a mistake and that you will know after really listening to yourself. Yes your breath of life can and will talk to you sooner or later but you only have to listen. One simple example will clarify my point.
How can you answer a question if you don’t listen to it in the first place?
Simple! No?
Open your ears and listen with your heart and do the right thing.
I know that you will because I really need my pill.
