Doing hard (scary) things is the spark that reveals your true strength.

I did something super scary today. Like, not even really THAT scary. I didn't bungee jump or run into a burning building or flee a failing country with my child.

But for me, super scary.

Because sometimes stepping up and doing a really hard thing and committing to growing is the scariest thing you will ever do.

We all love our comfort zones. We might want to do bigger things and go after our dreams in bigger ways, but it's pretty scary to move out of the comfort of what we know. What we know might not really fit us anymore - like that pair of jeans that I am totally someday going to get back into - but it's what we know. And what we know is easy.

Stepping out of that is scary.

Committing to doing the hard work and being extremely uncomfortable for a while is scary.

But the reward is that when you do the scary thing, it's not so scary anymore. It's actually kinda exciting.

And you find out how strong you are, and what amazing things you can create when you are just willing to take a leap of faith and fling yourself out of the known in the direction of the thing you really want.

Have you ever taken a big leap of faith? What hard thing could you do today to take a giant step out of your comfort zone and toward the life you are meant to live?

Either way, go do something hard today. Show yourself what you are really made of. You can do it.

Being sensitive is strong. Own that you are an empathic badass.

There isn't an empath that doesn't bear the scars of the many horrible things we've been called. Of course, because we truly DO feel everything and we truly DO take everything to heart, this can impact us at such a deep level that we take their perspective on who we are as truth. Because of that, we try to hide the depth of our feelings, and we shove the pain we are sensing deep down within. And, we often get sick from this - powerful emotions have a tendency to make us sick if we try to deny them after all.

It's time to stop feeling shame because you feel so much. It's time to stop feeling like you are weak because you care.

The weak ones are those calling you names, because they DON'T feel all that you are feeling. They walk around NOT having to carry the worries and pain and emotions and anxieties of the whole world. They get to NOT feel a constant need to DO something to stop the pain that others are feeling.

Frankly, they've got it pretty freaking easy.

You, on the other hand, carry it all. Feel it all. Look suffering right in it's face and decide that you will do something to help. You care more about others than you do yourself. You don't walk away, because you can't, and, even if you could, you wouldn't.

You are part of the solution. You carry this huge emotional burden and you keep on working to make things better.

That makes you stronger than anyone who called you names.

You are an empathic badass. Own it. Live it.

Life is rough sometimes. You can still find happiness.

Let's just be real; choosing happiness can seem like a tall order, given the state of the world right now. So, when I talk about choosing happiness, let me be clear: what I mean is that you are choosing to find moments of joy, love, acceptance, and peace inside yourself, even with everything going on.

Believe me, I get myself in knots over all the pain in the world. I speak up on injustice when I see it. I worry over the wellbeing of literally everyone in the whole world. I bet you do, too.

It's seriously overwhelming. And, if I didn't take a moment to pull back, to disconnect, to recenter myself into my own reality, I would be completely burnt out (and I know of what I speak, because I've done it).

So, what I am suggesting you do is to bring awareness to when you are only focusing on what's wrong, what's lacking, what needs to be done, and what obstacles are in your way. When you find yourself in that mode, take a moment and step back. List 5 things to be grateful for. List 5 things that are making you feel joy or happiness or acceptance or peace or love right now. List 5 things that are going RIGHT. List 5 improvements you see in life.

The only way we can create positive change in ourselves and in the world is if we are willing to take personal responsibility for how we feel and act, and the only way we can keep on doing what needs to be done to create a better world is if we restore ourselves to find the good in even difficult days. By cultivating this ability to shift yourself from "black cloud" thoughts and feelings to a reasonable sense of hope and gratitude, you can do so much more for the world (and you will feel and be more well to boot).

You are already connected to all you desire.

It's so hard to not get pulled into the world of comparing yourself, you life, and your success to others, particularly in the social media world. We look and all we see are the ways in which our lives are lacking, connecting ourselves with a constant stream of sadness, fear, and even self-loathing.

The truth is that we are connected to all we desire in this world, if only we look within and connect with that creative power within ourselves.

Science now shows that no matter how separate we feel from people and things in our lives, the reality is that we are all connected in the underlying wave that is quantum potential.

So, when we think we are separate from the things we want in our lives, that's actually an illusion; you can't be separate from anything if we are really all just waves in an ocean of potential. I know that seems crazy, but try this: imagine standing in the ocean on one side of the world, and a friend standing in the ocean on the other side of the world. You might be in two different places, but are you really disconnected? No, you are connected through the waves - there is a constant connection of waves from you all the way around the world.

In the same way, view yourself as a wave in the ocean of reality; everyone you love is a wave, and everything you desire is a wave. Are you actually disconnected?

When you want to experience anything in your life, change your perspective. Imagine that you are, inside your heart, connected with this person or thing now. Feel the excitement you'd feel if they were in front of you. Keep connecting with this reality everyday, and your life will profoundly shift for the better.
