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.
Intensity. The depths of our heart is an intense place. Many view this place as something to be feared because it is indeed intense in itself. But does it have to be such a bad thing that the purest place in our soul brings out a fire in us that can set a flame to others hearts as well?
What if living with intensity we could fully experience our emotions and experience life as we should be? Would we feel so bad about being intense? Probably not. Rather, we would fearlessly trek into the unknown thrilled to encounter the challenges that arrive.
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.
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.
You have to risk it all instead of playing 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 one of the scariest journeys you will ever take? Yes.
Time and time again you are going to have to travel into the depths to start really understanding who you are. You are going to have to suffer growing pains and what comes along with trying on new things. But if you do, you can become something far greater than who you are right now.
So what will you do today?
