"You may be afraid to leave a bad situation, Do it Afraid, your life may depend on it."
As many of you all know how peaceful and carefree I was prior to giving up my life (family, friends, home, career, etc.) to step out of my cage (comfort zone) and run free. I let my wild heart over-run my logical mind. You ever had times where you wanted to experience things/life so bad you were willing to do anything to achieve it? Sometimes that is a good thing, sometimes not so much. I have somehow genetically inherited my mother's free spirit, self-reliant independence, and unfortunately my dads stubbornness to accept any form of good advice. My whirlwind decision to drop everything, leave my life, and move across country on a whim ... eventually caught up to me. I was unhappy in life so I thought change would cure that, I run, away from everything. I suppose some of those cages in the above quote need to be locked down with a dead bolt.
"You may be afraid to step out of your comfort zone, nothing grows there, Do it Afraid, or your life will stay the same."
If I would have viewed this quote 2 1/2 years ago, knowing what I know now, I would have locked my own cage. I didn't realize that after making the decision to walk out of my wide open door, that I would come to realize that ... I really lost everything, most of all I missed my life line (the people in my life that let me shine brightly). I exchanged that life, for one ... that has brought out the absolute worst in me, you grow with drastic change, or you crumble. You let things go, or you let thoughts eat you alive.
"The most scary thing I can think of is Letting Go of Everything I lost, but it is just that, GONE. It will only come back better if I trust God to turn everything around, if you have lost faith. Do it Afraid, your best days are not behind you, they are Standing in Front of You." Are you ready to move forward? ...
The reason I wrote this is because, for one, I miss writing, and someone told me I shouldn't because I am not perfect and until I could practice what I wrote, I had no business writing. If you wait to be perfect ... nothing will ever happen. What my point is ... If you have made a mistake in life, a rather large one, that you sacrificed so much for ... and in that time of suffering you changed someone's life for the better, God WILL NOT overlook that ... He did NOT forget about you. If you just let go of everything that is gone, He will restore that. If you have lost your faith, and find it hard to trust God, now is the time to look to the clouds and find your knees on the ground.
Finally taking my own advice ... Alice
