To live a shallow life or a life of depth… a life of meaning and purpose is a choice. Exiling the heart of a gentle soul to mediocrity when it’s super power is the ability to feel the soul shattering pain of the world….with the sole purpose to hold that pain for others that cannot conceivably feel those depths. To channel that pain into the purpose of helping others as an act of healing ourselves and finding our power.

A shallow life is fear pulling a soul to the depths of darkness and creating a perpetual expiration date of living…a poison created by a madness in ones own mind that is only an illusion. That such poison which is only a temporary paralysis of self to stop life as it is…an illusion…a pause, a reflection, a redirection before falling into the life which was always meant for us.

A passionate life is a soul full of fire…a fire burning to create the light we must all must move towards. Let us soften into our own reflection that is being held up to us…into our mirror as an act of self-love…as an act of self-love to create permanence instead of a fleeting moment.

Do you have the courage to feel deeply…to dissolve into the experiences mirrored to us…to soften into our deepest hearts desires without running away. I promise if you do it will stop hurting…I promise there is hope and beauty on the other side.
