Some Journeys You MUST Walk On Your Own

=-=-= Some Journeys You MUST Walk On Your Own =-=-=

You know, it’s grand to have a ‎#6monthchallenge and the like. Totally support it! But you know…sometimes….*something* just plain holds you back.
I’ve been dealing with that myself. And no matter what coaches I might have, nor what cheerleading I can rely upon….the plain fact is, *some* journeys…can be walked ONLY by me.

Just like some journeys can only be walked by *you*.

The Honorable Husband unit came up with a grand idea today. He suggested (gently, I might add) that I’m still too tied up with the past; to move ahead to the future, I simply have to, well, *let go*.

Such wisdom.

You see, you really *cannot* succeed in your planning *until* you give yourself permission to:

* Look at the future square in the face

* Realize that if you keep sitting in a rut, nobody will rescue you

and most importantly:

* LET GO of whatever thingees are causing you to stagnate.

‘course, that’s ‘way tough indeed. ‘Matter of fact, I just spent a rather huge number of hours going back and forth about what I choose to do…until I finally said, “Oh FlorbyToe, just freakin’ DO IT!”

And it was painful (made ‘way more so by my own personal hero’s journey). Really painful.

But I *did* it.

Let’s now move this conversation to the most important person reading it….you!

Planning is *good*.

I honor you all who have the courage to take control…and take that first step of the journey that shall change your life.

Grow strong,

Barbara Ling
