Forget Playing It Safe With Your Heart

By Evan Sanders


The depths of your heart can turn out to be a pretty pure place to go. I once thought it's a place of intense misunderstanding and where the past lived, but I have come to find that it's actually a place of purity.

We often view "intense" places as something rather negative. But are they really negative just because they are intense? Or is it because we live in a society that tries to deaden everything about us that we have no viewed someone or something that is intense as a bad thing?

I'm hooking up and linking into the purity of a number of these feelings that I have not absolutely experienced before. Maybe that's the idea right there - fully experiencing emotions.

When we shut ourselves off from feeling and from the intensity of the emotions that rage within us, we fail to experience life in its fullest. While the midst of your heart can be a scary place to go, it is also a place where countless lessons to be learned live and the greatest version of yourself survives.

I believe we are terrified of this place because we have experienced how wild and intense a number of these feelings we are going through are and that scares the hell out of us. For whatever reason, we are taught to keep a lid on ourselves and not stray too far outside the middle because that's the secure place to play. No, I'd rather climb perilous trees and travel into unknown lands than play it safe.

You have to risk it all instead of playing it safe.

The depths of your heart could be a place you go to grasp the intricacies and perplexities of this life. There are very many things that we don't understand about what is occurring in this world just because we can't see them. Often, you have got to run on true faith. You need to be willing to put your feet forward, one after the next straight into the dense fog and function on faith.

Is it going to be scary? Oh you bet.

Time and time again you must travel into your heart to find your true self and start to function in a way that is actually connected and present with the world. If you can try that, there is no cap on what you may become.

So what will you do today?
