How Fearless Are You?

Broken Heart or Broken Brain

Have you ever convinced yourself that a particular path was the right one for you, even when all signs point to the contrary?

Have you ever tried to fit your life into someone else’s although everyone tells you, you are playing small and deserve much more?

You swear you heart will break if this love doesn’t work out the way you planned it.

You bend, twist and contort your life and your emotions trying to make this decision you’ve taken make sense.

You break your brain, end up depressed and confused, unmotivated and uninspired because nothing else will work if this one thing, this one person isn’t in your life.

You can change your mind.

What’s breaking your heart isn’t the guy or the unfulfilled dream. It’s the time you’ve spent trying to play small, convincing yourself that this path, this person was the answer.

Unbreak your heart and unbreak your brain.

Make a different decision.

Choose you.

Choose life. Living it full out. Mistakes and missteps. Unrequited love and dreams unfulfilled. All of it is yours.

Because, when it is for you, the pieces fit. Your heart and your head lights up. The process of working through the challenges feels joyous even, not overwhelming and burdensome.

You were made for more.
