The greatest risk you will ever take in your life is to really live! Living fully takes commitment and that commitment is one that the worried mind is anxious about. Your mind and ego hate the great Unknown.
The majority of the seven billion people on Earth have decided to exist in a gray-line depression, meaning mere survival. The longest spiritual journey is from your head down to your heart.
Once your heart opens up, you will feel all of life and once you are connected to life, you will want to live fully!
What does that mean, live fully? Give people free hugs here and there, buy one thing a day just to make you happy; thank your parents; no matter what they did, at least they tried. Dance in your bedroom, then gradually sing behind the steering wheel, then finally on the sidewalk. Go up to the Beauty that you admire and just say, I really want to to share my time with you. There is no heart break, after all, the one who is open to love keeps thriving, while the one who rejects love winds up lonely.
Find your life-calling and give it your very best. Each time you fall, get up once more and laugh at the adventure of it all. Your entire life is just a photo album, make sure you paste in more colorful moments than gray ones.
One of these days, you will look up at the sky and down at your child, and murmur, thank God I am alive!
Much Love,
