It takes guts to believe in myself. It is much more difficult to believe in myself than others.

Letting go of something that “secures” me in my head, not going back somewhere I’ve been, choosing not to do something I know how, those are very, very difficult things to do.

Coming up with the idea of going cycling by myself and actually doing so was the same thing. Before even getting to that idea, I had countless battles in my head that made me cry many times. I never told anyone about that crying part. I only talked about the smiley, fun things so I wouldn’t make anyone worry.

I want to tell you, and also myself, that it is OK to let go. It is better to let go. Listen to your heart, it already knows where it wants to go.

My friend sent me this message just now, and I want to share this with you as it lifted me up:

“You have to follow your gut.  Even if it seems contrary to the evidence.  You know in your heart what is right.  Unfortunately we all feel pressure to do the right thing, and trap ourselves in a space less than we are.  I trust your instinct – you need to trust it too.”

    So true, we “trap ourselves in a space less than we are.” Wow. Thanks for sharing your friend’s insight. I hope you continue to follow your dreams! <3

    Thanks. As it takes guts to do something “strange“, it takes Honesty as a relief – for you and the people who look at you. It makes all clearer and mostly easier in my experience.

    Yes, you are right. One step that you take seems so difficult when you actually do it. Wetting a pillow with tears is not unfamiliar with me. It is only a lousy path I am taking at the moment, but I will make it. I hope, I believe, somehow that dots become a line. Your line is going to be bright and brilliant, I can see it! Thank you for sharing this!!

Comments! Yay!
