      “Hey you,
      I want you to burn every bridge that has kept you from seeing just how amazing you are.
      Burn that bridge that brings you back to depression.
      Burn that bridge that brings you back to self-hate.
      Burn that bridge that brings heaviness to your heart.
      Burn any bridge that prevents you from seeing how beautiful life is.
      Perhaps it’s that painful situation that happened to you
      That’s still manipulating you to feel unimportant today. Burn that bridge.
      Maybe it’s that mistake you made which is is persuading you to live your life with regret instead of appreciation. Burn that bridge.
      Maybe it’s those moments of abuse which have programmed you to feel that you are useless.
      Burn that bridge.
      It cannot exist in your life anymore, because as long as it’s still standing it will keep injecting your life with low self-esteem, sadness, hopelessness.
      You’ll start to believe it and to live your life like you are not worthy of a ything.
      Those limited beliefs that bridge created will control your life.
      It will be make you certain you’re not e ouch.
      It will make you certain that you’re incapable of building or crossing a bridge that will help your life.
      You can’t let that situation continue to control the pen that’s writing your life story.
      Burn that bridge. The person who is living their purpose didn’t have a mistake-free life. They just decided to burn that bridge that was keeping them from everything they were created to be.
      It’s not what you go through that makes you. It’s what you stay in or free yourself from that does.
      Understand this, some bridges are meant to be burned
      Because there’s certain things in your life you cannot afford to go back to.
      So if that bridge isn’t leading you to the best in you, then burn it.
      When we keep bridges in our lives that need to be burned, we only cheat our lives from the bridges that need to be built.
      Forget what lies behind and press forward to what lies ahead.
      It all starts with you.”

      Can only burn the bridge if everyone is safely across.

      Thank you Serenity. We often hold onto things far longer than necessary. A friend told me great story recently about being in a dark cave, going along a low tunnel, hunched over for miles. Suddenly one of them looked up and saw stars. They realised they’d exited the tunnel ages ago. It seemed a perfect analogy for how we are for so long after getting free. Of course we need to shepherd everyone to safety, but sometimes it starts with us taking that first leap of faith for the good of everyone xx

      You’re so right, PP.

      Sometimes, we need to be the leader and be the one to strike out. X
