The Gentle Pull
The burnt wick of the aroma candle had been mostly submerged in its own wax. It had drooped due to being burnt and rolled over itself forming a 'u' to get drowned in its own wax. Due to this, the exposed part of the wick was barely there to burn and hence the candle was burning very low. The flame was almost as if it was about to extinguish.
During this time, a slight pull with the gentlest force to prop it sparked a new life into it. As the wick rose over the candle wax and was no longer submerged, it started burning brighter giving more light to the surroundings and thereby fulfilling its purpose.
Similarly, all of us may at some time in life be like the burnt wick of the candle. When we are so submerged in our responsibilities that unknown to us our energies are drooping, all we need is a gentle pull to prop us above that sea of duties and commitments. And, lo and behold! We are again ready to shine brighter and fulfill our purpose to the best of our abilities.
Be that gentle pull to someone. And, most importantly look for your gentle pull.
In the form of your go-to motivational quote,
In the words of someone that have the ability to soothe you,
In the company you feel cherished but haven't given enough time to,
A place that heals you but you could not visit for long,
An activity that really lights you up but is now left behind in all the chores,
A book that you read and can read over and over -
Find what resonates with you and make it a part of your life.
