The Start of a New Life

Can we truly begin a new life, when all we have known is of the past?

Can we truly begin a new pathway, when there is fear of leaving it behind?

How terrifying it must be to change, but how beautiful the future can be if you let the past go.

Three weeks ago, I began a new life. I said goodbye to my past, to the people that I knew, and walked the path of change. How exciting, but terrifying it was. There was nothing but fear within my heart as the town I grew up in was left behind, mile by mile, minute by minute.
I packed up my things, grabbed my dog, and we were heading north into a place I have never once been before. There were discussions from friends and family that I was making the wrong decision, that I was leaving too quickly.

But here’s the thing, not once did I regret my decision.

Not once did my gut yell at me to turn that truck around and drive back to a life of unfulfillment and fear. Not once did I think “This is the wrong decision, what am I doing”? And as I drove into the new driveway of my life, I knew that I had made the right decision.

This message is for those who are in fear of change and of new beginnings.

One that lets fear control their life and the destinations that life is supposed to bring to us.
