If you’re reading my content and you feel something rising inside you, don’t suppress it. Allow yourself to feel the emotion. Allow yourself to cry. Allow yourself to feel the beauty of realizing that your life does not have to remain the way it has been. Maybe you finally recognize that you haven’t been living with integrity. Maybe you’ve been selfish, afraid, bitter, distracted, or unwilling to accept responsibility. Maybe you realize you’ve acted like a piece of crap—and you’re finally ready to change. Don’t run from that realization. That pain is not here to destroy you. It is showing you the distance between who you have been and who you know you can become. Let the old identity break. Let the excuses fall apart. Let yourself grieve the years you lost—but then become grateful that you do not have to lose another one. You can be free. You can forgive yourself without excusing yourself. You can accept responsibility without hating yourself. You can look honestly at your past and still choose an entirely different future. Sometimes tears are what happen when the truth finally gets past your defenses. Feel it. Accept it. Then change your life.
