Your Heart is on Fire


This is what happens when you follow your heart…..

You walk down a path and can never return to where you came from.
Forever changed by the experience, you will be.
Growth, love, happiness, encountering fear and hate…all of these will
be a part of the new road you are traveling along. Following your
heart is tuning into your highest self and trusting your deepest
instinct. You feel it in your low belly, an unwavering conviction that
you must listen to. It is as if it is coming from some hidden source,
a secret friend who tries to give you tips along the way. Many people
ignore this feeling and continue on with their normal, “safe” lives.
It is sometimes easier to stay on the straight and narrow path,
passing by normal sights, wearing comfortable shoes, always seeing the
same faces and places each and every day. To take a leap of faith,
trust the voice inside, and walk down a new path is to be a warrior.
It is taking control of your life and stepping into the adventure that
awaits you. Fear flies out of your mind as you begin to follow your
heart and your inner instinct. More and more you begin to trust
yourself more than any outside source. When this occurs, your sense of
personal power begins to burn like a bright fire. Nothing can touch
this inner strength. No one can deter you from what your personal
destiny is. The demons of fear, hate and shame inside are slowly
burned to ashes. Ghosts of them may remain, but their power is no
longer a match for the new you. A fire burns deep inside filling you
with life and vitality. Like any fire, it can slowly dwindle down and
die unless it is tended to. Sticks and kindling, in the form of trust
and risk taking, will help to keep the fire burning brightly. If you
feel it becoming extinguished inside, take note of what is happening
and do something to change it. You will know specifically what you
need to do to increase your personal power and self-esteem. It is
different for everyone, as everyone has different fears they must work
on conquering in this lifetime.

Follow your heart’s desire
And light your fire
