What if one day, I woke up and changed my whole life. Just picked up and moved. Different job, different friends, different place....felt the need for change, and took it to the limit. What if that day were today?What if I didn't just do something because it was logical, but instead, did the thing I wanted to do in my heart...and did it even though I think it doesn't make sense?
What if I stopped feeling regret for leaving good things behind, and just picked up again whatever I could, like no time had ever been lost?What if I threw all caution to the wind and decided to just love you out loud because I have no fear, and nothing can stop me from telling you what I think I feel? What if you could do that, too? What if I told you I think I want you to love me? What if I quit worrying if that will scare you? What if I don't know exactly if we're "it" but I'm dying to know? What if I've been so patient it might kill me to do it any longer, and I just PRAY we're both brave enough to find out? What if we stopped beating around the bush and just said it. Now.
What if I stopped being worried about the obstacles, real or imagined, and just did what I've always wanted to do, no matter what?What if I trusted that if it is right, it will somehow all work out? Because what if, by choosing the second-best option, I am walking away from the things that will fill those empty portions of my soul?
What if, in the field of my life, the grass really IS greener on the other side, and I've just been too afraid to jump over the fence?
What if I don't know what my life will bring, but I know what I want it to bring? Will that make any difference? Will my time be spent going for it, or being afraid of it?Is it wrong to go for second-best because I'm afraid first place isn't realistic?
What if it actually works out.
What if this is all for real.
What if the only thing holding me back...is me?
"Look before you leap"
I looked. And looked. And looked.
But I forgot to leap.
Time to stop thinking.
Just jump.

sounds like you are in love??? Maybe. So if you are JUMP!!!! It's the best. If that's not it- then I am just really bad at reading. Love yoU!
Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,
but that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
It is not just in some; it is in everyone.
And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give
other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.
leap baby!
This would have helped me in a conversation I had last week. Dang.
I ditto Cali. Love this!
