I had to get out of my own way!


For every time I said “I couldn’t achieve it because…”
For every moment I decided to give up
For every thought that sustained my unhappiness

~ I was in my own way! ~

For every challenge I make use of to build character
For every goal that grows from within me
For every inspiring emotion that burns with a purpose

~ I have to get out of my own way! ~

For every desire my heart has yet to know
For every experience that unfolds itself before me
For every opportunity to create, evolve and live my life’s design

~ I will stay out of my own way! ~
            ~ Be ~

  1. Love it! Most people don't realize they're in their own way because they're busy blaming others. Although, sometimes the devil does get in the way at times, but in those times we have to take a minute to think...things happen for a reason and try to make that reason a positive path or rope to climb to make your way!

  3. The first time I read through this I thought that you'd just found an amazing applicable poem and reposted it.. And then I realized that you wrote this piece and I had to read it twice more to really let it sink in. Beautiful!
