Hello My Ladies and My Fellows!!

It’s been a long time since I left you, without a dope blog to get depth through! (LOL I tried!)

Dream chasing and falling in love sound so romantic and fun, until you actually try doing that crap!!  This mess is scary!!  Like learning to be a pilot or clearing up your credit, scary! I can understand why Peter sank beneath the waves instead of walking the rest of the way on water to Jesus….The waves seemed closer and more familiar.  Strange, how familiarity can breed contempt and bondage!

Dreams are truly a romantic grand adventure.  However, in the process of pursuing purpose and planning prosperity, (I’m attracted to alliteration for this appearance. Hehehe.) we are confronted with the fears of rejection, inadequacy, failure, success, past wounds aaaannnd The Struggle!  Good goodness those walls and waves seem high and even insurmountable at times! (You like that word, “insurmountable”, don’t you? I’ma write it again *in my Eartha Kitt/Marilyn Monroe voice* “insurmountable” rawr baby…Bwhahaha!  

)

Anyway back to my point (puts on serious face), It is intimidating to go full force after our dreams or allow love in because some of us have become familiar an even best buddies with our expectation of failure and disappointment.  We believe the voice of those past doubts before we will the evidence of a present cheering audience.  Ain’t that crazy!! (Or am I the only one struggling with this one…Hmmm, maybe a little TMI.  My bad. Emotionally vomiting for a moment…let me just clean those pieces of my disclosed heart up off the floor.)  In truth, we must confront our criticism of our gifts, validity and worthiness to accept success or love.  That is painful because it is easier and more familiar to self destruct or self sabotage. Why? because we already know the worst of what happens when we don’t and we fear the best of what could happen when we succeed.  So sometimes we self sabotage in order not to face another failure or heartbreak.  Like settling into that old familiar ratty housecoat or chair.  It’s always been there, faithful.  That’s how we conform not by trying to but by being more comfortable with defeat than we are hungry for victory.

My point is that we are each standing somewhere along the journey between the boat and the bear hug atop of the bottomless waves.  Those waves are real and they are not.  Those doubts, disappointments and disasters may have happened in the past but today is not then.  The heartache and breakup may have happened but today’s love is not yesterday’s.  We must not look at our present pursuits with the perception that we picked up from our past.  We must be willing and even determined to heal, dream, dare, do, love and be passionate again! Yes, again!! And we can!

Si! Se Puede!!  Oui! Nous Pouvons!! Yes! We Can!!

We can tell our hearts that we can do it and not be held in the captivity of familiarity and conformity.  We can dream again and see a bigger possibility than before.  Annddd we can love again recognizing that isolation is not safety nor is that take out menu an adventure.  We want more.  So let’s go get it!!  I’m with you! Let’s learn to love and dream again afresh!  Pick yourself up and try again until the prison of self protection can’t hold you back from the pursuit of promise!! We don’t need the easy way out (Thunderdome! LoL)!  We refuse to self destruct!  We want the adventure! We want the challenge!  We want to fly the plan and we want to see a 800 credit score next to our name!  And we want to love unashamedly, uninhibitedly and unrelentingly!  So let’s go baby!! Full passion! Full Throttle! Full Hope! and Fully Alive!

Don’t push the self destruct button.  Just keep going…it will be ok.

Life, Life, Blessings and Besos!
