Dear Former Self,

Stop it now. Stop the hesitation, stop the second guessing and by all means stop the circular thinking that will tangle your dreams. There is no right or wrong way to grow through this. It is merely a path in the sand, and you know how to handle that—simply barefoot. Seriously my former self, you will not have one regret where things fall so apart you cannot recover, and you will learn a hell of a lot through the process. I beg you, take leaps of faith to know exactly who you are and how your story unfolds.

Sometimes I may not recognize you. The melancholia does not work, nor serve your story. Push your creativity and expand your heart beyond their comfort. If your not happy with the progress then do it again, and again. I promise the fifth attempt is going to feel better than the first. We need to break-through and the only way that is going to happen is to do the work.

Get out there, you know exactly how you want to live. You've written it down a million times, a thousand ways, through a hundred lives. The vision is solid and why not you, your path? It would be a disservice to yourself and creation not to act on such passionate intention—to deliberately give up in the face of fear. You asked for this, remember? Well, get out there and live the life that is your creation, the most beautiful magnificent life you could dare to write.

Sincerely,
me
