What Are You Afraid Of?

Change is hard.
Ruts are easy.

Routines can be good, they have a definite purpose in life. We can't all dwell in chaos. We have jobs, homework, appointments, family commitments, and must manage time accordingly and keep up on time management. But change, real, personal, spiritual change can be necessary, as well as scary. We all harbor secret dreams and hopes of who we'd like to be. What would you change? What do you want to be? What will it take to break free of unhealthy patterns and toxic relationships, to embrace the limitless possibilities of who you're meant to be?

What are you afraid of?

Afraid of failure. Afraid of mockery and ridicule. Afraid of being wrong, being selfish, being short-sighted. Afraid of not loving enough. Afraid of not being loved. Stepping off the ledge and into the uncertain and cavernous unknown is terrifying. Will I fall? Will I sink like a stone?

We can all fly if we choose to. The key is not in a 100% success rate in all you do. The key is in relying on those around you who truly love you and believe in you to walk it with you. If you take a leap of faith, you will find supportive, loving hands under you to catch you when you fall, to lift you up when you're sad and unsure. Trust yourself. Trust that you are loved.

And fly.
