Ready to fly II

For the last 3 years I’ve avoided putting myself out there, I walked away from a fiancée who was supposed to be my future and left me shattered 6 weeks before our wedding. I couldn’t trust anyone let alone myself, so I avoided situations where I needed to. I guess all the other losses that came my way in that time kept me a little distracted so I never even realised what I was missing. Recently however it started to dawn on me that I was missing out, that everyone around me had gone on with there lives and that I was the only one still living in the past with the hurt and resentment. It’s funny how quickly things change when you come to a conclusion like that. You see it lead me to do a lot of soul searching and I realised that if you aren’t going to take each day and make the most of it you may as well be dead. It also lead me to another conclusion, you see my mom died at 57 which is relatively young and only just more than 20 years older than what I am now and I realised that I was wasting my life, that I was just taking up space, yes I’m involved with a number of charities and charity events so I was making a difference but I still wasn’t living. So I decided to spread my wings and open myself up to what the universe had to offer. I realised that the only time I am guaranteed is right now, that I had to find my passion and do something about it, That I had to be ready to fly, otherwise I would just have more of the same. With all this thought out and without even looking I suddenly found my passion, yes it was already there and yes I was already involved but now I know I want to do more, and can do more…it has even brought me to a point where I can trust, through the people I’m working with I have realised that I can trust myself and my judgement, that I can trust others again, that not everyone out there is determined to use you and walk away leaving you a shell of your former self, quite the opposite actually. So with my passion found and my trust restored…I am finally ready, ready to spread my wings, ready to live, I’m ready to fly…that my journey though rocky has began and I am going to

Live, Love and Laugh
