I was thinking of the transformation of all the beautiful people on the Biggest Loser, how distorted faces and bodies morphed back into their own. And yet I think of all the people who are already physically beautiful but have distorted their worth and their lives with layers and layers of pain, misperception and hopelessness. This now, is a call to all of you who can't talk about what keeps the very heart of you buried in isolation and pain. You are not alone. All of us have been there.
There is another side that is so beautiful that it takes vital oxygen and infuses it into every breath, every cell. Oxygen so light and glorious it takes your heart, your lungs and fills your body with sensations of warmth, peace and Love. But you have to be willing to open yourself to it, to risk losing the facades that keep you locked up, bound and alone. Redraw the picture. Risk Simplicity. Risk Being. Have the bravery to release what feeds superficial worth so that you will reap what truly is Joy. All that you want, all that you wish, is there waiting for you...
Rest. Peace. Serenity.
Risk your idea of what happiness looks like. Perhaps what you've been living has been merely a cover for mistaken identity. Risk for the richness of a kind of Living so infinite and wide that there is nothing more exhilarating or triumphant. Taste it. Let the elixir of what could be, fill you.
This kind of Joy is yours for the taking - All of it. Now. Just have the courage to reach out, unmask, and take hold of the hands that would hold you for a lifetime.
