Too Good To Be True?!

Why do we think things can be too good to be true?  Are we not allowed to experience something exceptional?  Something amazing?  Something wonderful?  Are we so use to settling for "average" or "good" that we think anything beyond that is unattainable?  WHY IS THAT?

Why is it when something awesome comes along do we question it?  We think, this isn't normal, this cant be right.  What is triggering that thought?  Is it fear?  Is it just your body processing this amazing thing b/c its so use to processing average things?  Or maybe it could be a gut feeling that this isn't right....

Time will tell...  But I challenge you to strive for the exceptional.  Why be average?  I don't want an average life.  I want an exceptional life!  I don't want to live a boring life.  I want to live a fun and exciting life!  Don't you?

“If we study what is merely average, we will remain merely average.” — Shawn Achor

Heartache

Situations in life can be so interesting.  So deep but yet so inconclusive at times.  You can have months of confusion, pain, excitement, sadness, love and exhilaration all at the same time that can cause quite a drain on your heart and mind.  The pain of the unknown can be so daunting.  But what I think is worse, is the final pain.  The pain you feel in your heart when you have that moment of realization...  The realization that the unknown is now the known.  Or what you have been trying to hide from yourself this whole time is finally revealed.  The ache in your heart of FINALLY, now I know.  But at the same time the ultimate feeling of sadness when your inconclusive situation reveals itself. 

On the other side of the coin though is freedom.  A chapter closed that once left you excited and hopeless.  A feeling of knowing your life will now move forward and into other directions.  Life.  Does.  Go.  On.

A heartache can really feel like your heart and chest is aching.  Your collar bones feel like they want to cave forward as if they are giving your tears less distance to fall.  But that is the last and final pain you will feel, on your way up and onward to better things.  BE STRONG.  :)
