Day 144 - This is Your Life

"This is your life.  Do what you love, and do it often.  If you don't like something, change it.  If you don't like your job, quit.  If you don't have enough time, stop watching tv.  If you are looking for the love of your life, stop; they will be waiting for you when you start doing things you love.  Stop over analyzing, life is simple.  All emotions are beautiful.  When you eat, appreciate every last bite.  Open your mind, arms, and heart to new things and people, we are united in our differences.  Ask the next person you see what their passion is, and share your inspiring dream with them.  Travel often; getting lost will help you find yourself.  Some opportunities only come once, seize them.  Life is about the people you meet, and the things you create with them so go out and start creating.  Life is short.  Live your dream and share your passion."
In small group last night, we shared this message from a poster, and I think that it is something else in a long line of stuff that has been speaking to me lately.  Really, this isn't something that needs explanation, because the statements in and of themselves are simple and profound as they stand.  But I will say that life is more than we tend to make it.  When I had my friends' feet put up my butt, it shook something loose in me, and this is just further confirmation that I cannot live in my bubble of fear and live less than what God has given me.  Yes, I have been blessed some amazing gifts and talents and potential, but I can't let the fear of my "inadequacy" stand in the way of me striving to live out those things.  And the above statement has been helpful in seeing that as much as things are moving and changing and I'm starting to feel 'overwhelmed' to the point where I wanna push back and sit down, God is working in me, and I need to trust Her and go with it.
