I got this one-Totally on it! I lost the belief in my own strength for a long time, but it’s back and it’s back with a determined Vengeance. Was is Shakespeare who said “the lady is clothed in Strength and Dignity?” Over the past few years as I have been growing into who I want to be, I put away my Invisibility cloak to hide from life and put on the heels to do some dancing!
Believing in yourself, know what you want is your grounding factor as you move forward where you really don’t want to be anymore to someplace new. People around get scared for you and tell you “You Can’t!” because secretly they don’t want to know that you can. If you Can, so Can they! They would have an in-your-face example of someone who picked herself up and put herself back together. Stepping outside your comfort zone makes you feel squidgy and squirmy inside. You just want to run back and hide under the covers, telling yourself that “I can’t do it today…maybe tomorrow!” Tomorrow comes and the next day and Inertia has grounded you to the spot that little by little, a bit of you dies inside as you sink deeper and deeper into the earth. “I could’ve been something,” you say…if only. If only what? Someone did the work for you? Nope. that doesn’t fly with me. Now get up off your butt and write down the “I Can’t’s” that are stopping you. They are making you weak and killing off your life’s passion. Write down your fears too while your at it! These are mental constructs your mind has created to keep you in the BOX.
Leave them in the Box and climb out of the box you are hiding it. The world is so big and so are the possibilities. Move a little, just a little, and wonderful things will happen. Are you out of the Box yet? Yes? Ok, now toss the damn box with the fears and the I can’ts in it away. You don’t need them pulling you down anymore.
Now rest. Big day tomorrow: Goal Setting. Be ready for it, this is the beginning.
