Soar.

Back in the day everyone used to wear these shirts that said *Life is short; Play hard.*  Lately I have been reminded of that sentiment which has led me to ask some questions.  When was the last time you had a dance party.  flew a kite.  laid down in the grass on a dark night, and stared up at the stars.  Laughed till you peed your pants.  Felt the sun kiss your face, and stopped to enjoy it.  Kissed the one you love; I mean really good and kissed them.  Played in the rain.  I have come to realize just how easy it is to get swept up in the pressures and bull shit this life often deals us.  Before you know it days turn into weeks, weeks turn into months, and we find ourselves saying *where in the hell did the time go?*  We miss out on opportunities to make memories; we miss out on living!

All my life I have been told it is best to follow your head not your heart. Thankfully I have a listening problem.  The truth is,following my heart has never let me down.  No, things have not always turned out the way I'd hoped, but the lessons I have learned have made it all worth while.  Had I followed my head during my college career I may have been a straight A student, but by following my heart I had a blast, met amazing people, and made memories that will be with me a lot longer than any letters on a piece of paper!  Your head will lead you to the job with the biggest paycheck.. your heart will lead you to chase that which makes your soul sing, and never allow you to give up on your dreams; even when your head says you should.  

What would happen if we traded practicality for possibility, negativity for nurturing, obligation for opportunity, existing for living?  What if we all found the courage to say Fuck it, and mustered the strength to pursue our passions?  The truth is we are all called to something.. but we rarely have the guts to pursue our calling.  Instead we fall in line with what society thinks we should be doing.  All the while our souls are suffocating.  When are we going to see that life is too damn short to live like that?  

I read a quote today that really spoke to me: **The only thing keeping you from getting what you want is the story you keep telling yourself about why you can't have it.**  WOW.. I know this is entirely true in my life.. is it true in yours??  What stories are we telling ourselves, what lies are we buying into?  Isn't it time to believe in something better, to strive something more?  

If we never took the leap we would never know how it feels to fly.  No day but today... may today be the day you make the time to let your soul soar!  Let joy wash over you; allow it to cause your soul to dance.   For once let your heart win.. it will take you to places your mind can only dream of!!  

love. always.
