Risk

Your heart starts pounding. You feel a little sweaty. The thoughts start rolling around in your head. You feel like you are about to step off the precipice. You like staying in control but this is monumental jumping off the cliff into the unknown. And you don’t feel the safety of holding the wheel that steers your life.
But. We take risks everyday —-starting a new job, repairing a broken relationship, driving on the highway, moving to a new home, telling someone you love them.We take risks tasting that carton of milk that may be sour, trying on those old jeans that are a little too tight, Even choosing which program to watch on tv involves a risk.

So why do some of these risks stop your heart?

Fear.

The thoughts you create in your mind . The stories you tell yourself. The what ifs that you make up. The story that you are not good enough.

The truth. We are not small. We are more than good enough. We have more than enough bravery to take the risk. If it doesn’t work guess what? There is always another one! Don’t let the negative thoughts stop you. Choose love thoughts instead. You have one life to live and now is the time to let your inner soul shine. Choose to love yourself! Take a risk on you. That pounding heart ? It isn’t fear- it’s excitement. Step back world you are showing up!
