Fear Less – 11.22.2016

image1-1

Human nature tends to fear and walk away from that which we can’t comprehend.

Because we cannot relate, or fit it perfectly inside a little box, we dissociate ourselves from it, and as such, we bind ourselves to the limits of our own beliefs; our sweet warm comfort zones.

We were conditioned and taught as children to mistrust; to fear that which is unknown and different from ourselves.

But yet, when we have challenged ourselves to overcome our fears, we have performed beyond our wildest imagination.

When we have thrown away those boxes inside our heads, and listened to the beats of our hearts, we’ve generated plenitude of magic.

When we have excitedly flung ourselves into the abyss of the unknown, we’ve created numerous unforgettable adventures.

And when we’ve engaged and shared with people from other walks of life, all with a different story to tell; each of them bringing different gifts of bold bright colors, we’ve encountered soul enriching life-changing moments; surmountable amounts of growth.

Therefore, we mustn’t settle for “just” good enough.

We mustn’t fear that which is different, because different might just be exactly what we were looking for.

Fear less. Be bold. Start living.

Have fun.

Help Each Other.

The Hidden Path~ August 30, 2016

Why are we born with a feeling of emptiness ?
Even as children we feel this desperate longing to find happiness outside ourselves.
We walk through an abyss of nothingness,

Trying to get it.

An incredible longing to find true love.

Is it childhood conditioning?

Or is it more than that?

A feeling that drives us, that makes us feel as if though we are searching,

For someone. For something.

So we seek and crawl.

And we love, and lose.

And we learn.

And we keep searching, almost desperately as if thirsting for air.

So we love again, and lose again.

And then finally, through this loss, we learn there’s freedom in letting go,

Unlocking a key to a new self discovery,

A self realization that what we had been  aching for was always sitting inside ourselves.

That what we had always been searching for was our very own soul.

And had we not felt that unquenchable emptiness, we would have never been driven,

To find it.

To awaken.
