the only way to get what you want is to be brave enough to move towards it. if there is a willingness to be momentarily uncomfortable in order to live the life that calls from your heart then fear loses much of its claim over you and your decisions

at war with myseIf because I know I can do better.
ouagh lord of the rings really did say āit might be hopeless, it might be fatal, there may be no coming backā but it is always, always better to do something, to fight for what is good and true and beautiful, than to sit back and give into despair with an āit would have happened anyhowāā
the good life is something you have to DO to achieve. my partner teaches philosophy in high school and noticed his students struggling with the concept that a good life takes action. āah,ā i said. āi noticed this too. some replies on my blog act like youāve done a hate crime when you suggest a good life takes responsibility for the self and intentional action, itās not something simply given to you by others.ā
this should be common sense, taught to you by parents and books. a life you love will not just be handed to you. you have to create it yourself. of course thereās always external realities that, if different, could make it better and easier. but you canāt rely on those. you have more power than you think to make even teeny tiny changes toward good right now.

with your whole heart or don't bother
i love the feeling of gettingĀ āclearerā as you get older, like with each year thereās less room for messing around or pretending or playing a game with something you know deep in your heart is not right for you. itās like your brain just gets better and better at cutting you off as you consider something and tells you āno that is not for meā before you can jump in. and itās not as if things get more serious, but the opposite. you have freedom in giving yourself more and more permission to purposefully live life and go after whatever you want and to love freely knowing that things are secure in your heart and mind.. at least when i am struggling i know that theĀ āclearingā is really whatās happening
