What you need to know is that I stand at the edge as scared and hesitant as you. Waves of doubt lap at my feet also.
Oh I don’t doubt anything is possible or that I have everything I need to reach my heart-pounding, passionate destination. Rather, I don’t know if I can stay on track. Like you, I take comfort in what I’ve always known; I’m inclined to give my time and attention to wonderful people and excellent events that lure me off the path I want to take.
There is a place I see where I want to live my days. It’s not geographic… unless you know the landscape of my spirit. I too stand at the edge in tears of frustration because it feels like I need only reach out or take a slight step to the left and I would be there. Yet here I stand.
On this morning, before the sun has a chance to replace the stars, I’m thinking balance is no longer an ally. I want to tip my days, my energy, my thoughts, efforts, and time toward me. I want to remember what I seek to know and express in my Self has value and will feed every aspect of my life. I ask this new day to give me the courage to say “no” to the distractions and “yes” to my potential.
And so my mantra for today: “Yes”
