Go Without Fear

Go Without Fear

Be brave. Be courageous. Be strong.

Take heart. Take precautions. Take lessons.

Go forth, and forge a way.

Go out, and begin. Go on, and never stop.

Lead by example. Lead by loving. Lead by learning.

If you must quit or give up, do it quietly.

Then, once renewed, rise.

Rise from the depths with a fire in your heart,
with a fire in your eyes, with a fire in your belly,
with a fire in your soul.

Show the world. Show your friends and family. Show yourself.

You are not afraid. You are strong. You are worthy.

And Go!

Go without fear.

Standing In My Own Way; Get Out of My Way, Me!

 A sad truth I've come to realize is most of my problem moving forward is my own self. After many years of criticism and crooked understanding of words said to me, I became my own hindrance.

I'm attempting to pursue a career and at the same time learn to love who I've become. Today, I have a goal of clearing out unnecessary clutter from my house. The thing standing in my way is me. 

This reminds me of when I was very young, and I got frustrated looking in the mirror. I wouldn't get out of my way. I wanted to get bye me, but I wouldn't move. I was a stubborn child, and I honestly wanted to step into the mirror and see what else was in there.

I used to try looking around the screen of our small TV set, too. I wanted to see more of the picture. My mind has always been curious and naive, but it has a darker side that just loves to jump in my own way and keep me from going anywhere. It's what I'm used to, but I'm tired of getting stuck in my own way.

You hear me! Me, get out of my way! I'm tired of your hurtful ways. I just want to get through this and enjoy my day. This is the perfect time for dark me to step aside and let determined me get this done.
