Forget Playing It Safe With Your Heart

By Evan Sanders


While the depths of your heart can scare you to death, it ends up that it's a very pure place to go. It's a place of understanding and compassion if you can get past the fear.

These emotions that I feel within have been claimed by others to be intense and for whatever reason I have experienced some variety of negativity with this word. Perhaps it's the way that I am taking it? Maybe it's the way in which I interpret that word? Nonetheless, I am beginning to find this emotional force about life is essentially simpleness manifesting itself.

Maybe this intensity is actually how we were supposed to live our lives? Maybe this intensity is the exact thing that should be coming out in us and we should fight to keep it alive?

if we deaden the intensity of what is in our hearts we fail to live this life to its fullest. We succumb to mediocrity and suffer the consequences of not chasing after our dreams. There is no grander punishment to ourselves than this.

And yet, we are all terrified to go to the place our intensity lives because of how many bad feelings exist in our hearts from previous heartbreaks. But the journey is worth it if you can bring out the best and brightest version of yourself.

You have to risk it all instead of playing it safe.

And by risking it all, you have to run on faith and trust that your heart knows what's best for you. You need to be willing to put one foot in front of the next. You have to be willing to give it your best shot without knowing what's going to happen in the future.

Will it be scary? You can bet your money on it. Will it be worth it? Oh totally.

You are going to have to travel deep into your heart time and time again and connect with thoughts and emotions that may not exactly be pretty. But if you can really give this a good try, there's no telling what you could accomplish with a new level of self awareness.

So who will you be today?
