Dear friends, I wish to offer a thought… How many among us have challenged the status quo, critically examined our place in this universe, did something we never thought we could do, or asked the question, am I really living? You may have many answers. I bet many of those answers may bring fear into your heart. Let this fear not distract you, but instead let it bolster and ignite your potential. Acknowledge it, stay with it. Let it rock you. Let it fill your body with sensation. Take notice to these feelings. Is your heart beating faster? Is everything inside of you screaming no. Don’t back away from this, stay put. Stand your ground, dig in with both feet, no surrender, and no retreat. Now let the warmth of realization wash over you. You are existing, at that very moment! You are present, you are here, you are feeling it, and you are alive! The fear may never leave, but it has its place and it is good. Now take this with you wherever you go, to whatever you face. Stay with it, feel it, live it, you are alive! I believe so many of us walk through this life never tasting the experience of being awake. It is easy to push things away that are difficult to deal with. It is easy to dismiss things because we are afraid. The trick is to know, that the things that bring us fear will never stop coming. They will be with us our entire lives. So we might as well stare them straight in the face and deal with it. So what if it doesn’t work out. Try again. There is no failing, only postponement if we don’t deal with it. So give it a try, what are you waiting for? Take on a challenge and feel every moment of it! Feel alive! Get scared, laugh, cry, yell, and sing! I would rather live just one moment fully alive, then a lifetime of sleepy regret….
