Standing in the boat in the middle of a storm looking out at Jesus I don’t know if I would have EVER stepped out into the sea like Peter did.
Waves crashing along side the boat, the howling winds blowing so strong…I can’t imagine how scary that would have been.
Once he stepped out he was totally vulnerable.
Then I think how my Mother raised me to be. I have always been that person who takes steps in unknown territory!
My whole life I’ve walked around with a glass that to the world may SEEM half empty but to me, has always been nothing BUT half full.
Laughing when everything around me is in complete chaos and toasting my cup to the world with a big “PISS OFF!”
It’s frightening to wear your heart at the end of your sleeve because it leaves you open to vulnerabilities, very true! It’s so much easier to become hurt, lose at love, feel pain of a broken heart and fall into a desperate sadness.
However, closing yourself up to all of those same emotions leave you lonely. Staying fearful to vulnerabilities can keep you from truly falling in love, Or being overwhelmed with complete joy or even experiencing life to it’s fullest extent!
Why would you risk all of those things simply because you are scared to open yourself up and breathe in life?
Being to afraid to take a step into the unknown.
TODAY IS THE DAY you should promise yourself to LIVE….because you aren’t afraid to.
Everything for me is a learning process. Once you have been inside yourself for so long for one reason or another you need to give yourself time to speak up…then move on to laughing out loud…finding yourself and eventually being COMFORTABLE with yourself. And if you get hurt you get hurt, you fall off the horse you don’t let it run off, you get up, wipe off, grab the saddle and get right back on. If you don’t, you’ll regret it forever. The whole theory about if you’ve never had something you won’t ever miss it, is a complete lie. You will miss living your life…something inside of you will NEVER be right.
Being scared to TRY is alot easier than being angry for not trying.
People will always try and knock you down but you can’t allow that to be the final say in your own life.
It shouldn’t be the deciding factor on whether or not you are going to let yourself be who you are. Being yourself is the best gift you can ever give to yourself, your future husband/wife…children, friends ect…Now staying TRUE to all of that is a whole different blog (LOL!) But for now…the very first step is to just know it’s OKAY to BE vulnerable. It’s OKAY to glide into unknown territory that once had yellow tape across it that read CAUTION and at the very least replace it with a “proceed with caution” either way…PROCEED.
