I use to be afraid to die and afraid to live
I am not anymore
Well that is not entirely true
I am definitely not afraid to die. We all die (sorry to shock you) and we don’t know when. I think we all hope we live long, quality lives; but there is no guarantee
I have made peace with death and what comes after death so that doesn’t weigh on my heart as it once did
What did I mean when I said I was afraid to live?
There was a period of time in my life where I was afraid to take risks, to take challenges, to try something different, to live…
Afraid of rejection, failure, my safety…just fearful of it all…
I am not anymore
I wake up and make different choices today….
I accept invitations, I always try new things, I take risks, I tell people how I feel about them (even if it isn’t returned), I love deeply and with great passion, I approach people, I meet new people, I trust people, I believe the best about people...
I am not afraid to live…
I keep my eyes open so life won’t pass me by…
I acknowledge every wonderful thing about life…
What I am really really really afraid of today…is to NOT live and miss that opportunity
An opportunity that is taken from many people too early...an opportunity that will be taken from us someday...
Don’t be afraid to live…open your eyes before it is too late...
If you fear anything...
Be afraid to waste this awesome opportunity called.......LIFE!
