Today is the autumn equinox. But do you realize what an equinox really means? It's all about time - it's about a moment, actually. National Geographic explains that it is the very moment when the sun is on the equator at noon. Northern people get longer nights, Southern ones get longer days.
But, what about an equinox in your life? It's about seizing a moment when the sun is shining on you exactly the right way. It's when you have the ability to filter the truth from the darkness in your life, to take charge of your next moment in destiny.
When you don't follow the well-trodden path by the drudgery of managers pointing down a predictable direction, when you challenge all of those mainstream busybodies as you are reaching upwards for the stars, some people call that rebellion or being a rebel.
Consider this: there are quite a few noteworthy people in this rebel category. Johannes Gutenberg was considered a terrorist rebel - because he developed a fast way to release the magic of the written word to paper by inventing the printing press. William Wallace, a treasonous rebel, wouldn't just change allegiance to a different king in another country, and instead inspired his people to fight for their heritage. Galileo Galilei, a heretic rebel, was put on trial by the church for the mere suggestion the Earth moved around the Sun... leading to more knowledge about the stars and today's equinox.
Are you a rebel, a rogue, a renegade? My first example of knowing I was not going to accept the status quo came in the second grade (a story for another day). For others, it comes later in life. Everyone is gifted with varying levels of creativity and energy, inspiring their own story and accomplishments.
For those of you who are rebels, it's time. Begin charting your route with inspiration on today's equinox - or, if you are well on the way to forging a new direction, motivate those around you toward greater heights.
