Confronting your scariest emotions holds the keys to unlock your most game changing opportunities.

We feed the fire what it needs to burn and hold the extinguisher that is required to put it out as well.

Fires require elements and materials to continue to burn over time. When we stand closely enough we are throwing our feelings into them, and they will suffocate our outlook as well as dispose of our wanting to change. Although it may seem contradictory, there is a beauty inside of the opportunity that these fires support as well.

When we get burned we typically do not repeat the action that caused it. When we stop caring, those same actions loose a reason to move away and we sit in misery despite the pain it causes. I lived in a time where it was easier to provide my demons flames what they needed to stay alive. I sat and burned with thoughts and attempts of sitting inside of these fire entirely until I fed it everything that it needed. Within doing this unsuccessfully, I found a place outside of the void in my heart that supported a voice in my purpose. I poured my soul into it because even the smallest result felt so good. My demons retreated in fear that they could no longer control me.

There will always be a fire in your life, and that is the one that feeds your hope, purpose, and change exactly what is needed to keep hope alive. We are capable of conquering anything that we are equally responsible of creating. Let your heart serve as the output that utilizes your soul to put out things that you no longer want.

What will you do today to feed your fire instead of your demons?
