Leaps of faith are scary things. They are a jump into the unknown... into the darkness. And even after we jump, it's still a scary place as we try to figure out if we're flying, or falling. We're searching for our next landing spot. So how, if the unknown is, in fact, unknown, do we find the courage to actually make that leap?
Faith.
Faith is the belief that when you step outside your comfort zone, that you will, in deed, make it. It's a certainty of things we cannot see. When we want something, specifically that dream that is lit inside our soul, we have to have faith in the unseen. For me, it's my belief in God that helps me have faith in my dream because I know He is the one who put that dream inside of me. That no matter the difficulty I encounter while on the road to making those dreams my reality, I will make it, because that is what I am made to do.
Do what you were made to do. Trying to be someone else, or follow someone else's dreams, or even others' expectations of you is a waste of who you were meant to be. We create a false identity of ourselves when we live within the constraints that the beliefs and values we learned growing up, from family, peers, media, our culture, have taught us. When did we stop wanting to be pro basketball players and princesses when we grow up? Those dreams were squashed by reality. But reality is relative. Its truth lies only in our perspective. Now, there may not be a high demand for princesses, but you can be the princess of your own life. You can be the queen of your own life. Rule. First, we have to believe in ourselves. And then we have to believe in our dreams. Not matter what they are. Believe they are attainable because our high power put them inside of us. Silence the doubt and negativity around us. That come from people who live within the restrictions of their version of truth.
"You are the victim of the rules you live by."
Jenny Holzer
Break the rules. Listen to what is in your heart, and have faith in that voice. Trust your higher power, close your eyes, and jump already!
