What Holds You Back

AI-generated image based on Wisdom & Rhyme…

Focus on what you want 
Without a doubt 

Which seems easy enough
Especially when you’re clear and driven 
But even then there can be a misconception 
That places perceived delays in your way
Which have to do with your belief system

It’s rooted deeply 
Even if you think you’re ready 
With a plan of action in your hand 
There could be countless ways 
That suggest you sit rather than stand 

What holds you back 
Is simply and complicatedly
You 

One question to ask is, “Does my vision align with my truth?”
And sure, you want the thing you’re envisioning 
But do you truly believe it’s true? 

Or were you taught 
For one reason or another 
You’re not worthy 
Or that struggle needs to be a part of the journey?

These thoughts get in the way 
And cause your dreams to be put on delay 
At yet they are completely necessary 

For what you’re building is meant to last
And things that come without meaning 
Quickly become a part of the past 

So work with what you have
Hold the vision 
And complete the task 
Do the inner reflective work 
And create a dream that lasts
