The depths of your heart can turn out to be a pretty pure place to go. I once thought it's a place of intense misunderstanding and where the past lived, but I have come to find that it's actually a place of purity.
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 scary? You can bet your money on it. Will it be worth it? Oh totally.
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?
