Step to the Side, You're in the Way!

Is there something you've been wanting to do, accomplish? Something for which you've always longed? Yet despite your fervent desires, there seems to be always something, or someone standing in your way. That thing you want is somehow always out of reach. Maybe you blame your parents. You were mistreated when you were a kid. Or perhaps it's that crazy teacher who gave you that D minus when you thought it should have been an A. Maybe it's your gym coach telling you you're not working out hard enough. How about blaming the clothes manufacturers for making the clothes too small? Hmm.

Maybe your parents weren't the best. Fair enough. But you're an adult now capable of making your own choices. Maybe you went bar hopping instead of staying home to study. Did you really challenge yourself during your workout, or did you just go through the motions? Are you really a size 4?

While all those above-mentioned reasons may have some validity, it's time to let go of them. More often than not, it is not an outside force standing in your way, it's you. Fears, insecurities, doubts, laziness, etc., are all things that stand in the way of your attaining what you want.

If you really want something from this life, you need to go after it. Gladly step aside. Welcome the blank canvas that stands before you. Stop the blaming; you're only giving away your power. As soon as you take your power back, you become strong, decisive, and capable of attaining anything for which you really strive. The moment you take responsibility for you, things will begin to change.

The next time you're about to blame someone for something you haven't achieved, STOP. Take a look at what you're doing, or not doing. Are you limiting yourself? Is someone other than you really in your way? You might be surprised at the answer. The moment you own you, miracles will happen.

So step aside today. The sky's the limit!
