People Who Choose Bravery Tend To Choose Each Other

Those who make big, bold moves tend to surround themselves with people who do the same. Fellow soul-shakers & dream chasers. Kindred spirits to the call of the road less traveled.

Bravery often demands growth; growth often demands bravery. When you choose to grow, not everyone will choose to grow with you. Not everyone will welcome or accept your growth. Some may even rally against it.

Maybe you don’t even choose growth, but life chooses it for you. Some things far beyond our control can fling us right over that well-worn cliff of comfort — right over the edge where we will undoubtedly land on our feet, or learn how to fly.

It’s hard when choices and changes create chasms between ourselves and the people we love. At times the cost of personal growth may feel unreasonably high, but your soul knows the cost of stagnation would prove higher.

Sharing a deep familial bond or close friendship at one time, does not mean it must remain so. Love does not mean we must remain close. We can love deeply, even profoundly, from a distance.

The people who remain by our side through choices, changes, and growth, are usually the ones who have the courage to change too. They too are brave. They’re our sparkly gems who not only know how to stand beside us — but will grab our hand and jump right over the cliff’s edge with us. Comfort zone’s be damned, we want to live where the magic happens.

FAITH

When you walk to the edge of all the light you have
and take that first step into the darkness of the unknown,
you must believe that one of two things will happen:

There will be something solid for you to stand upon,
or, you will be taught how to fly.
