Do something crazy for love. cast out all doubts and fears and do something you'd never thought you would do. Do it for the sake of love. Do it because it scares you. It scares the crap out of you. It wouldn't be love if it didn't.
I will admit that I am a sucker for love. A hopeless romantic. When I fall I fall hard and give it my all. Now, I have not always been that way. I was reserved and shelled up. I was afraid of getting hurt and afraid of the heartache and pain.
But then something happened to me that cut my time short and made me realize how precious our time on Earth was. How important it is to truly live life to the fullest. To love to the fullest. Because, we can't be sure when our time will be cut short, and if and when it is can we truly say that we have lived and loved all that we possibly could?
Everyone knows that Bible quote ' For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son...' is that not a testament to how great the power of love can be?
So go do it. Do something crazy. Go love without fear of getting hurt. To love is to live and to live to truly live is to love.

Change In Your Pocket
I could sit here and lecture you about change. However, I'm not going to do that. Everyone has heard the same old speeches; 'change is scary,' or ' when one door closes another opens,' and blah blah blah. I am also not going to try to convince you that all change is good. In fact, change can be very bad. ( I can't wait for the optimists to attack me for that one.)
Do you really want to know what change is? Change is change. It is a redundant but true statement. Change is a new direction or different path; a path that can lead anywhere. One of the most important things about change is that you are in control. A change occurs and you control its outcome. You have the power to decide whether or not that change will be negative or positive.
When life gives you lemons will you take the time and effort to gather a pitcher, some ice, sugar, juice them and make lemonade? Will you take the time and put in the work needed to turn sour lemons into delicious lemonade? Or, will you just sit around and complain, or wait for someone else to come by and make lemonade for you?
The choice is entirely your own. The work you put into it is entirely your own. Besides, accomplishing a difficult task on your own through hard work and perseverance makes the reward taste sweeter.
Literally.
