Do you guys ever find that you automatically keep things or
people out, and don’t even notice it until you’ve already done it? I wonder how
many opportunities or great people we have pushed away, how many beautiful moments
have we kept from happening? I think our fears and our terror of failing or
being hurt keeps us from what just might be our happy beginnings. Our survival
mode brings us to build walls and not enough bridges; it keeps us from doing
anything that can hurt us in more ways than just physically. It’s our natural instinct
to keep hurt at bay, it’s automatic for us to want to keep ourselves sheltered and
protected, and there’s nothing wrong with that. However, by doing so are we
hurting ourselves more than anything? Maybe just maybe the things we pray, hope,
and wish for are some of the very things we’re keeping out. Sometimes there
needs to be hurt in order to know when you’re healing, there needs to be tears
to realize what a smile really means, and there needs to be closed doors in
order for us to find our own bridges and our windows. I know there are situations
in our lives that led us to build walls, but we can’t let our past dictate our
presents, or our future, we can only learn from it. I guess what I’m trying to
say is that we should take a leap of faith and open the door; maybe what we’ve
always wanted will make its way into our lives.
