We are so much more vibrant than we often know. In order to live a life that continually carries it's maximum energy, color and potency, we must uncover what's diluting us in the first place.
There are many ways to become a diluted version of yourself, but the two main culprits I've found are A.) passed trauma B.) people pleasing (in the form of being "balanced", "politically correct", or "Popular"). The key is honesty. We have to be honest with ourselves and do a little inward investigating.
What passed trauma have you experienced? It could be something dramatic to something sublet and unnoticeable to others. How has it affected you? What have those experiences robbed from your life?
As for people pleasing, the truth may not be balanced. The call God's put on your life may swing so far one way that you are out of balance to earthly standards, but it's that drive, focus and fiery passion that will help you accomplish the very things you were born to do. To walk in your full potency you may have to give up being popular.
If you've lost this edge and feel like a diluted version on yourself, pin point what's draining the color and life out of your life and allow God to transform you in those areas. It's a life long journey. I felt diluted for much of my life, but through soul searching, doing the hard work (counseling, classes, reading etc), and being honest with myself about insecurities and things that have held me down I continually sense a new level of vibrancy as each productive year passes.
How about you? Do you feel watered down? You were created to live at maximum strength.
