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.
We often view "intense" places as something rather negative. But are they really negative just because they are intense? Or is it because we live in a society that tries to deaden everything about us that we have no viewed someone or something that is intense as a bad thing?
I'm hooking up and linking into the purity of a number of these feelings that I have not absolutely experienced before. Maybe that's the idea right there - fully experiencing emotions.
When we shut ourselves off from experiencing negative feelings we also shut ourselves off from experiencing the wide array of positive ones too. The midst of your heart can be a place that you can go to grasp the truths about yourself instead of a place that you have to be frightened of. In this place, there exist lessons of love and passion. Why wouldn't you want to go there?
I believe we are terrified of this place because we have experienced how wild and intense a number of these feelings we are going through are and that scares the hell out of us. For whatever reason, we are taught to keep a lid on ourselves and not stray too far outside the middle because that's the secure place to play. No, I'd rather climb perilous trees and travel into unknown lands than play it safe.
That game is not for me...the playing it safe game in life.
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.
Is it going to be scary? Oh you bet.
Time and time again you must travel into your heart to find your true self and start to function in a way that is actually connected and present with the world. If you can try that, there is no cap on what you may become.
So what will it be today?
