While the depths of your heart can scare you to death, it ends up that it's a very pure place to go. It's a place of understanding and compassion if you can get past the fear.
These emotions that I feel within have been claimed by others to be intense and for whatever reason I have experienced some variety of negativity with this word. Perhaps it's the way that I am taking it? Maybe it's the way in which I interpret that word? Nonetheless, I am beginning to find this emotional force about life is essentially simpleness manifesting itself.
Maybe this intensity is actually how we were supposed to live our lives? Maybe this intensity is the exact thing that should be coming out in us and we should fight to keep it alive?
When we shut ourselves off from feeling and from the intensity of the emotions that rage within us, we fail to experience life in its fullest. While the midst of your heart can be a scary place to go, it is also a place where countless lessons to be learned live and the greatest version of yourself survives.
And yet, we all see to avoid the depths of our hearts because of the punishing feelings we go through when pieces of our hearts break. For whatever reason, we are taught to stuff things down and not feel them so we can pretend that we are doing ok. But does that really serve us in the long run? Does that make us better people?
No. Instead, it's much better to risk it all than to play it safe.
And by risking it all, you have to run on faith and trust that your heart knows what's best for you. You need to be willing to put one foot in front of the next. You have to be willing to give it your best shot without knowing what's going to happen in the future.
Will it be scary? You can bet your money on it. Will it be worth it? Oh totally.
You are going to have to travel deep into your heart time and time again and connect with thoughts and emotions that may not exactly be pretty. But if you can really give this a good try, there's no telling what you could accomplish with a new level of self awareness.
So what will you do today?
