Call To Adventure: Online Workshop
Our wakening can be a realization that no one will live our lives for us. We must live our own lives. We must risk being our own selves. We must risk making mistakes, risk being judged or rejected, risk being ourselves. We must find the comfort, safety, and love within ourselves, not in the perceived acceptance of others. We must take responsibility for our own happiness and well-being. Heart pounding. Knees weak. Voice shaky. We must find the courage to know and do what is true for us. We must follow our hearts. We must risk feeling our feelings. We must give from our hearts. We must love and let that love fill us to brimming.

Song Lyrics
I’ve lived my life behind a wall showing only parts of who I am.
It’s time I opened up.
It’s time I took a stand.
I am going to tell you what I want.
I’m going to show you me.
I’m going to take the risk you’ll like the me you’ll see, you’ll see.
Follow my heart.
I’m going to feel.
Follow my heart.
I’m going to give.
I’m going to love.
Follow my heart.
I’m going to live.
I thought you would love me more
If I didn’t express my needs.
But all I got was loneliness
For all my selfless deeds.
I’m going to do the things I long to do.
I’m breaking down the wall.
To live. To live my dreams.
To risk it all.
To risk it all.
Follow my heart.
I’m going to feel.
Follow my heart.
I’m going to give.
I’m going to love.
Follow my heart.
I’m going to live.
I’m going to live.
I thought the wall would keep me safe.
It’s there I made my home.
I thought was it my saving grace.
But there I’ve lived alone.
I’m breakin’ down the wall!
Follow my heart.
I’m going to feel.
Follow my heart.
I’m going to give.
I’m going to love.
Follow my heart.
I’m going to live.
I’m going to follow
Follow my heart
I’m going to follow
Follow my heart
I’m breakin’ down that wall!
