The Heart Wants What It Wants

By Evan Sanders


If you can get past the fear of traveling into the depths of your heart, you will end up realizing that it's a place of understanding and great compassion.

We often view "intense" places as something rather negative. But are they really negative just because they are intense? Or is it because we live in a society that tries to deaden everything about us that we have no viewed someone or something that is intense as a bad thing?

What if living with intensity we could fully experience our emotions and experience life as we should be? Would we feel so bad about being intense? Probably not. Rather, we would fearlessly trek into the unknown thrilled to encounter the challenges that arrive.

if we deaden the intensity of what is in our hearts we fail to live this life to its fullest. We succumb to mediocrity and suffer the consequences of not chasing after our dreams. There is no grander punishment to ourselves than this.

And yet, we all see to avoid the depths of our hearts because of the punishing feelings we go through when pieces of our hearts break. For whatever reason, we are taught to stuff things down and not feel them so we can pretend that we are doing ok. But does that really serve us in the long run? Does that make us better people?

That game is not for me...the playing it safe game in life.

When you risk it all and run on faith you give yourself the best opportunity to truly live. You give yourself a chance to change for the better and to step into a new life. But if you constantly live in the land of mediocrity, you're going to suffer the consequences in the long term.

Is it going to be scary? Oh you bet.

Time and time again you are going to have to travel into the depths to start really understanding who you are. You are going to have to suffer growing pains and what comes along with trying on new things. But if you do, you can become something far greater than who you are right now.

So who will you be today?
