THE JOURNAL

The cost...

When you decide that taking a chance is something you owe yourself....
there is a cost.

When you decide that you will live your life courageously..
there is a cost.

When you decide that NOT being brave is more detrimental to your life than being brave...
there is a cost.

The cost for deciding to live authentically...
is others acceptance of you and the way you live.

Because when you decide to take the first step in a journey that not everyone is willing to accept...you will alienate people.

You will hear them talk. 
you will hear them criticize.
you will hear the fear

Because truth is often a mirror..
and they are not ready.

But you...
you will radiate
a light that will make others question their intentions.

You will shed fear and self doubt....and  gain layers and layers of uncharted territory inside your mind.

You will start to create a space for yourself that is safe.

you will realize that....

Everything you once thought about yourself....will have to be reexamined.
Torn down
and
Reconstructed.

This is the cost.

This is the wager.

This is the spot where you decide
who
you
are.

It is in these moments that you create your future.
You decide who will shape your thoughts.
Them?
or
you?

you decide what is truth...
you decide what is real...
you decide which path to walk...

Will you let them shame you for being brave
or 
will you seep self love?

You decide.

When you think about the cost...
Remember your worth.

then
fight,
fight with everything you have to reconstruct the tiny pieces of yourself that have cracked 
in the fight for your self worth.

Fight for the chance to breathe fire and fully inhabit your life. 

Fight for the chance to be truly happy.

Pay whatever the cost is....
Do whatever it take.

Decide your OWN worth.
