Move it..or lose it.

I feel a happy in my heart, because I am certain that joy is coming. Life is so full of things to be glad of. I see this and I know that come what may sooner or later joy is always coming. You struggle and worry, fret and moan, in the end it is that moment that you define yourself. Will you give up because things got hard, or will you grit your teeth and refuse to give up your dreams?

 Joy always comes when you have earned it. You would not appreciate it if it came from no struggle at all. To do so would to be folly. Staring into a glass of joy and not feeling the release of all that came before leaves an empty space in your heart. I believe that if someone is contemplating an action it is because it was placed there for them to see. If your heart says that you need something to happen, that something in you needs something to be, why think overlong on how many ways it can fail? If it fails it fails, nothing is lost for trying. What if you tried, reached out beyond all reason and connected with something completely outside your own experience? Trusted in something just because you felt it deep down.

Brave men are defined by taking risks that made no sense at the time. Wise men look back and realize that fate was working on them all the time they worried and fretted. Great things do not happen by sitting and waiting for things to become clear. They come from trusting that they will and leaping before you are fully certain of that fact.

 Will  you fail sometimes? Yes. Leaps of faith are all about faith. Tests to prove your mettle. Study for a time, be certain the thing you want is worth failure, then leap. Leap and hope that the future you are leaping towards will answer all those questions you never expressed aloud.

I know joy is coming, because I have leapt more than once this year. I am ready to leap again. I have discovered a secret. The more you leap, the easier it gets. Start small if you must, but leap! I know joy is coming. It whispers at me at night when I dream. I am challenging myself to be someone new. Someone I like and respect. She makes mistakes a lot, but I prefer her mistakes to her uncertainty. Standing still only leads to one thing, a choice being made for you, without your permission.

Commitment. It’s like pregnancy. You either are, or you are not. In the middle is not an option..unless you want that car barreling down the lane to squish you…just like grape.

“Do or Do not..there is no try.”
