New Year's Revolution

Faith. Hope. Love.

I don't have answers. I don't really know much.

But I know that those things ignite something in your heart, casting away the darkness of fear and regret.

 

When the cobwebs in the basement are cleared, you find all your old dreams hidden in corners you forgot about.

 

And when you pound your fist in the dirt, and say enough is enough... I'm not here to survive, I'm here to LIVE... to laugh and play and realize my deepest passions... to find the ocean of joy and invite everyone I know to swim in it with me. To love myself daringly; to dance with the darkness of my fears and invite their lessons in.

 

Something doesn't have to change. Everything has to change.

I'm not interested in being right anymore.

I'm interested in being ALIVE.

 

When you commit these things to yourself, and fight for love, for hope, for the adventure of really living all the way... something happens.

 

Something flips inside you, and heaven begins pounding at your door.

 

Life has always waited patiently on you to stop waiting patiently.

 

Adventure isn't around the corner. It's hiding underneath your heart.

 

Right here. Right now.
