She broke my heart twenty-six years ago, and it still feels like yesterday...
To want someone?
To desire a lifetime of love?
And to not get it? Well, that hurts like shit.
It’s called a broken heart for a reason, AND this is my hypothesis...
When a human heart breaks, we don’t just lose the relationship...
We lose something else too? I’ll get to this; keep reading.
But Humpty Dumpty was right
All the King’s horses and all the King’s men they couldn’t put Humpty’s broken heart together again.
When a heart breaks, a human being learns that desire is dangerous, and wanting too much can end in a form of cruelty.
This is why you set modest goals...
Because hope deferred makes the heart sick...
Because at your core, you are afraid of what it might mean to truly believe and to deeply want.
So goals become objects and life becomes a series of targets.
It’s a lifeless kind of mendacity
This is also why you fail more often than you should...
Because you and I are not living from a place of deep desire.
It sucks.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
Desire still lives inside of you.
If you are reading this and you feel like it’s time to go after the big, bold, passionate life that lives way down deep inside you?
Then comment “DESIRE,” and I’ll get you signed up for our Goals work, and we’ll do this together.
Much love
