Every sunrise is a new beginning.
Another chance to see beyond the pain.
You’ve become so accustomed to holding on.
Drop the weight of the world from your shoulders.
Let go.
Wipe the tears from your eyes.
You don’t need to hide or close off your heart.
Allow yourself to dream the way you once did.
Don’t fear love.
Breathe in the air of this new day.
Follow the sun to remember who you are.
What’s the point?
It’s a question that broke me half a year ago, when I told someone to continue to believe in the power of love.
Now, that same person left me understanding the depth of that pain, leaving me to ask the same question.
So, what is the point?
Why continue to rise each day, subjecting ourselves to immense pain and hardship through a willingness to be vulnerable?
When you find yourself in the midst of pain, the thought of opening up is unbearable.
In a world built on a foundation of trauma, it’s no wonder so few can fully place trust in another human being.
Seeds of division live within one’s own heart, cultivating a fractured sense of self.
The wars of the world are no different than this internal war.
The lack of trust and paranoia we see around us all started within ourselves.
What energy are we putting out there?
Do we sew seeds of division or are we providing a presence that gives others the space to heal?
At some point, we are all the former.
We will be the one who places the dagger through another person’s heart, is a villain in a story, or causes irreparable damage through our own ignorance.
Acknowledge your previous roles, but don’t let that serve as validation feeding an internal story that you are somehow broken.
Once again, we are all prone to mistakes and acting out of the pain that once defined us.
Real growth is measured by the choices you choose to make today.
If your pattern is to run and isolate, will you stick around and see it through instead of escaping vulnerability that comes from connection?
If your pattern is to seek validation through external attachment, will you take a step back and look inward for the root of your desires?
You can’t expect anything in your life to change if you don’t choose to act differently.
Changing behavior requires acknowledgement that something needs to change.
You know your patterns.
Life begins when fear ends.
Regardless of whatever feelings may be present, you must move forward.
The point of continuing forward is that love and pain live on the same spectrum.
If you shut yourself off to pain, you will shut yourself off to love.
Love is the only generator of true meaning in this world.
Without it, what would we be?
“They fear love because it creates a world they can’t control.”
Continue to soften your heart, but become firm in your mind.
Experience allows your discernment to gauge who to let in, which situations to avoid, and how to proceed forward when all feels lost.
I once thought love and wisdom cannot exist simultaneously.
This is only the case when you lose yourself within one of them.
True love and wisdom walk hand in hand, forging a path that leads you to the home of your dreams.
Keep dreaming big and imagining a life where it works out.
You already are the person you feel you’re meant to be.
The highest potential version of you is already accessible through your choices.
Live this dream like it’s the only chance you have.
You won’t regret going all in.
