On jumping off cliffs
I’d rather be naive and follow my heart than be cynical or fearful and ignore it.
But to keep that attitude through the slings and arrows of life, you have to be good at grieving when things don’t work out, and absolutely not making yourself wrong for whatever you did that seemed like a good idea at the time.
Do not begrudge your past self the lessons it still had to learn. (And lessons are always learned the hard way, or we wouldn’t call them “lessons”, we’d call them “that great time I had doing that”).
Knowing how to recover makes you more courageous.
Knowing how to love yourself through injuries to your pride makes you more willing to put your heart on the line.
Our Soul doesn’t come here with the idea that it won’t be hurt. It comes here knowing it absolutely will be hurt. So the deepest part of you is not afraid of pain, or making mistakes. It knows that is pretty much the point of life actually. 🤷🏼♀️
Love vs fear. It’s the only real choice and we come here to learn how to choose love when we feel afraid. That’s the lesson and we just have to learn it like, a million times. Because what we are doing here is strengthening ourselves by continually realizing we are bigger than our circumstances. That’s the whole game. 💚
