Pressure.
Extreme pressure. The type of pressure that condenses you and shapes you into something different. The birth of kings. The birth of queens. The birth of something new.
Once in a while, your heart can be in great fury. There's a strong pull of wanting to head different directions.
This is a great pressure.
And it can build for a long time.
I can feel this over my chest, running up through my cheekbones and down the sides of my neck. It's circulating.
It begs you to do what you know you should do.
It begs you to change your actions, to drop everything you've ever done before, to let the old pieces of you fall away and to usher in a new era for yourself.
But when you are scared it's incredibly hard to dive into this place.
No matter the story we lived in before, you can never go back. You can never go back to the person you once were...and that's perfectly ok.
It's okay to change.
And yet it's such a strange feeling.
It takes a lot of faith to drop into something new. It takes a lot of faith to step onto a path that you have no idea where it will take you. All you know is that it's going to take you somewhere great.
It takes blind faith. It takes "seeing" without seeing.
And it takes dropping the fear.
And yet...
It doesn't feel unguided.
I'm here writing today, after days and days of thinking about all of this making a commitment to diving into all of it. My commitment goes beyond just writing these words...I've sealed it in many other ways.
Leave everything behind that you have to leave behind.
Pieces of me that have changed...and yet will never come back.
All of the logic in the world will tell you to stay in as comfortable as a place as possible. Forget that. Dive into what makes you uncomfortable so you can move forward with your life.
Have big amounts of faith.
Leave your mind behind.
Trust you are headed in the right direction.
