Being in Love
"Like a riot in the heart" is one of my favorite lines in describing that feeling. The line is from one of the great "In Love" movies out there - "Shakespeare in love".
We have all had it. The feeling that robs you of the air you breath. When you see that person its like every cell in your body jumps for joy. Your heart is beating so fast that you think it might explode.
Everything they say is a like a poem. Everything moment you spend with them is filled with music. You can't feel the ground on which you are walking. You could just watch them do anything forever. The thought of touching them is almost too much to handle. No matter what they always look beautiful.
They are a dream come true. You can't imagine what incredible magic had to take place to bring you to this very moment with this amazing person. You can't wait to see this person, and you hate to leave them (even though you love to watch them walk away
. You can't think of anything else while you are apart. Over and over in your mind, you rehearse every moment of when you be with them again. Even if it's just 10 minutese later, the dream of seeing them the next time is like an awesome movie in your mind. The deepest and most powerful desire you have inside of you is to find some way to make them happy today. Nothing else seems to matter. You would give your life a million times for them. The love so great it hurts.
So why are we so afraid of this?
Because to have this and lose it is devastating. It has just cost you everything.
Is the cost too high?
Is the thought of failure so painfully horrible that you just can't bring yourself to believe anymore?
The price is high. It will take more than you have ever given before. And if it doesn't work out, it will hurt... as bad as you think it will.
But this is what life is. And if you don't dare to take a chance the next time someone just walks into your world out of nowhere, you just might miss it.
You have no idea who might walk into the room next.
It's happened to me before. Many times.
I'm going to take a chance next time. I will dare to dream. I choose life over being dead where I stand. I will have it again!
What will you do?

Think about it.
