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?
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 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?
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?
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.
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 it be today?
