Don’t Settle For Less

Right before I met Bobby I was engaged to be married to someone else. I had called off the wedding just a few months before.

It was a super hard decision for me, because he was a great guy and I cared for him deeply. I didn’t want to hurt him and disappoint our friends, families, waste the money, or start over from the life I had built with him.
I couldn’t wait to be married and start a family so on many levels my decision was crazy, confusing and felt like in many ways I was going backwards.

The pain and response following my decision was worse than I imagined. He was heart broken and so angry and so were most all our friends and family. I found myself alone, misunderstood, scared, and totally second guessing myself.

I could have stayed. I knew if I stayed I would be loved and taken care of, and had a very good life.

But.....

There was this longing inside. A vision in my heart. This deep desire for more.
I knew I would always wonder if the more existed.

Was the dream in my heart because it could be real, or was it a just fantasy from growing up watching fairytales?
I could settle for a very good life, or I could leap into the unknown in hopes for something so amazing, something out of this world. Something that would be more than I could dream up or ask for.

I know now that every dream, every idea, every vision you have for your life is available to you, and so much more.

The key is having the courage to let let go of what’s good, if your asking for what’s great. It’s being willing to say goodbye to what’s great to make room for what’s extraordinary.

Yes you will be misunderstood. Yes it may be brutal for a bit. But there is nothing in the world that compares to the bliss of seeing the dreams in your heart, the highest vision of what your life could be, begin to manifest in your reality.
