The challenge
If you have gotten this far and you do agree with me, I have two challenges for you. Both can be simple and bring much more freedom and joy into your life, but both are going to take some risk on your part!

The first one is to face up to the truth about the people you are just pretending to be nice to. Of course, I don’t mean to stop being nice, but admit to yourself how you really feel and you might want to consider the time and energy that relationship is worth to you… and what it’s worth to that person. Everyone deserves the kind of love I spoke about earlier and most people would not want to find out that someone was being their friend “just to be nice.” So maybe you’ll be doing them a favor by being honest, because the truth is, they’ll have the opportunity to stop wasting their time with you!

The second thing is, when you’ve decided who those people are that you do love, let them know how you feel. If love is anything like what I said it is, then it truly is a gift! Give it! It will probably be easier to do with people like your family and friends… but what about those love interests? I know you have to risk something to put your heart out there like that, but if the person welcomes it, it’s one of the most amazing gifts they could receive. Think about it: someone’s true appreciation and enjoyment of them. They make someone’s heart light up. The people in our lives should know that they have someone who feels this way about them.

Are you up for it?

Remember one more saying before you go:

Live like there’s no tomorrow.
Dance like no one’s watching.
Love like you’ve never been hurt
