Still, She Rises

WALK THE PATH YOU SEE FOR YOURSELF…

You see that path in front of you,
The one you want to go down.
The one where at the very end of it,
You see the person/people (you and everyone else),
The life,
Everything that you desire for yourself.
That you know is already for you.

When you think about it,
When you visualise it all,
You can feel exactly how it will be when it is actually here in physical form.
It feels sooooo good.
All you need to really do is see it, feel it, then come back to now and move forward towards it.

But….

Do you know what actually stops you from getting there…faster.
From being the person you really, really want to be in this world, in this lifetime,
From having all that you really desire in life.

As you venture along that path of yours, you get side tracked.

Sidetracked by saying yes to what you really want to say no to.

Sidetracked by pretending to be someone else, to fit in for that very moment.

Sidetracked by going places that you feel you should, need, to go to.

Sidetracked by what others may think of you if you keep on your path.

Sidetracked by stepping outside of what you’ve always known.

Sidetracked by the uncertainty of life.

You’re allowing yourself to get sidetracked time and time again.

Yes things in life are going to pop up, that can direct you in a different direction from time to time.
Yes some unexpected, terrible things can bring you to a dead stop.
That is all a part of life, we know this. I know this fully myself.

But it’s the people pleasing that’s slowing you down.
It’s the lack of boundaries that’s slowing you down.
It’s the should’s and feeling the need to, that’s slowing you down.
It’s the belief of feeling you’re not enough, that’s slowing you down.
It’s the excuses, the bullshit stories that you keep telling yourself, that’s slowing you down.

That path, that life path of yours that you want to be fulfilled with all that you really want.
It’s yours,
But you must take full responsibility for that path of yours.
Every step of the way.

There were so many times I allowed myself to be sidetracked.
And don’t get me wrong, there are still times I get sidetracked, I’m just so much more aware of it all now.

Having conversations that pulled me down in energy.
Saying yes to people when really I didn’t want to and then I resented them for it (that’s not taking responsibility AT ALL for myself)
Filling my days, weeks, months up with other peoples things first, instead of what moves me forward.
Not using my voice when something just didn’t’ sit well with me.
Or simply not using my voice, when I really wanted something in my life.
When someone did or said something that hurt me, I’d allow their way of being to effect me big time.
I took on their shit, their emotions.
I had to learn first hand how to take full responsibly for myself, for my part that I play in every situation, every conversation.
I’ve had to learn to stay on my path
To put my hand up to what isn’t fully right for me,
To use my voice where I know I must in that very moment, no matter how uncomfortable,
To keep moving, even in the times where I know I’ve allowed myself to get sidetracked.
The more I have become aware of my sidetracking,
The faster I get in moving forward to where I want to go,
All by staying on my path, doing my thing,
When and with who feels right for me.

You get to do the same.
Choose your path,
Water your path with your actions,
Feed your path with integrity to self & others,
Dance down your path and have fun with all you allow to have travel down the path with you.
