You know that thing you know you should be doing?
Not that one.
The one you always refuse to look at.
Are you sure you got it?
Look again.
It's right there on the same aisle as fear and unpleasant consequences and rationalizations.
That's right. That's it.
Well...
Go do it.
Now.
Why?
Because you know you have to.
You feel it.
Yet you choose to convince yourself otherwise because it's easier.
For now...
It's getting harder and harder to bear.
And it will continue to do so.
Yet you cling on to it.
Because you've never played outside that role before.
And you suspect that beneath it, there is something scary.
And there is.
You.
Because who you really are is dangerous.
Who you really are has self-awareness.
Who you really are has responsibility.
Who you really are has courage.
Who you really are has choice.
And that cannot be controlled.
So choose.
Wisely.
