“It’s in your head.” There comes a time when you will realize that dealing with things as they occur is the best favor you can do for yourself.

Anything that holds real estate in your mind is important to decipher, process, and deal with.

When things linger in our minds, we usually revisit the thoughts and emotions associated with the original event that took place. Often, when we experience events that hold significance, our first instinct is to feel the raw value of that moment as a direct reflection of how it made us feel. Revisiting thoughts and reanalyzing them are two entirely different occurrences and must be understood as such.

The nightmares that I lived through stemmed only as deep as the darkness in my mind and the sorrow in my heart. My conflicted understanding of giving love but not being able to receive it gave life to my demons and created an uncured landscape in my mind for them to live inside of. The most important thing that I found is that no matter where my mind decided to go, my heart followed closely behind it. The most beautiful thing I have ever discovered was learning to lead with my heart so that my understanding of love could find purity again.

Figuring out the things that supply our soul with its most loving and affectionate emotions is the greatest gift that a person can come to find. However, becoming vulnerable to feeling things that you may not have ever experienced is monumental in gaining a full understanding of the beauty that awaits you.

What will you do today to deal with things as they happen so that you can lead your life with love and take in all of the experiences that come with it?
