It's never too late...

"It's never too late to realize what's important in your life, and to fight for it."

So many of us are living scared. We're too scared to go for the job we really want, we're too scared to trust ourselves and take a leap of faith, we're too scared to fall in love, too scared to follow our dreams, too scared to stand up for ourselves.

We tend to go around saying we have faith, we believe in God, we believe in true love, we act one way, but say we act another. 

And when it comes down to it, we lose the faith we said we had, we don't trust the God that has always been there for us, we sabotage relationships that could of been something extraordinary, we show everyone that we are this person that loves this and likes that, but we actually hate this and dislike that... 

We are scared... We're scared to show face, we're scared to get hurt yet again, we're scared that no one will approve. So we go on through out our lives miserable and unhappy, because we keep wanting these amazing things that are scary, but we never do anything about it. We never take a leap of faith and hope that when we land, there will be solid ground to catch our feet. 

Everyone talks about dreams, and following ours hearts; whether it's on tv, in books, magazines in the movies, our best friends, random strangers... They preach that all it takes is courage and faith... Which it does, but it's so much more than that. If we would stop holding our own selves back, we could be anything and do anything. 

I think many of us forget it's okay to be scared... It's okay to be terrified that your putting your heart on the line, that your quitting a good paying job to follow your dreams, that your standing up for what you believe in, that your going back to school. 

It's okay to be scared...

If we never had fear in our lives and hearts, we would never grow, we would never become the people we were meant to become. We would simple stay the same, be the same, act the same, never grow, never love deeper, never laugh harder.... We would simply, be... Be nothing that really mattered, because there would be no growth, no pain to learn from, no tears to be cleansed from, no broken heart to heal from... We wouldn't have the opportunity to learn from our mistakes, to grow, to love better, to have more faith, to believe in ourselves....

I hope that through out our lives when we are scared, when we are unsure, when we don't want to have that pain again….  May we have courage, courage to trust our hearts, courage to trust others with our hearts, courage to love again, courage to follow our dreams, courage to be something!

At the end of the day remember these great words..

"It's never too late to realize what's important in your life, and to fight for it."

"Courage is being afraid but going on anyhow."  ~Dan Rather

"In the end, we only regret the chances we didn’t take, relationships we were afraid to have, and the decisions we waited too long to make." -unknown

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear." ~Ambrose Redmoon

…One last thing. So you've been hurt, you've been kicked to the ground, your heart has been shattered in to pieces.... So what... That's old news... And don't let it control your life anymore! Don't you see life's too short for us to give in, it's too short to be content with being miserable, and thinking we don't deserve anything better. So fight. You fight for what's yours and what you deserve, because. You. Are. Amazing!!
