By Sometimes we get in our way and sabotage potential success
There is something inside of us waiting to show itself. It’s a gift we were born with that reveals our true potential, leading us to fulfilment and happiness. Humans are highly creative (even though we may not think so), constantly looking for connections between ideas and things. We want to explore possibilities, discover something new and potentially invent a piece of our very own manifestation. We can sometimes become obsessed along the journey to repress this talent — to the point where it practically forces us onto the right path. But, as we resist — that thing keeps pushing us towards it. The very thing killing that creative force isn’t a lack of talent but our fears. So we build blockers or walls that stop the seeds of potential from flourishing in the sunshine. At times, we become so familiar and set in our old ways that any growth or expansion brings on terrifying uncertainty. The thought of ridicule and failing overwhelms the brightness of creativity. Will someone laugh at me? Will they think I’m mad? The price for quietening the spirit within manifests depression, stress and anxiety. It can also limit our self-belief and prevent us from taking even the most minor step forward. What is that thing inside of us that wants to come out? Do you know what that is for you?Perhaps it takes an event in your life that knocks you over. Or you finally tell yourself that enough is enough. Playing small isn’t an option anymore. Maybe the only way through it is throwing yourself with abandon into the arms of your potential. The journey to find what is seeking us is unique and only something you will eventually discover — if you allow it. But, the truth is, we block ourselves endlessly along the way. The constant chatter in our minds can hold us back from true love, happiness and the life we’ve always dreamed of having. As the year ends, I ask you, what are you stopping yourself from achieving now? What is it that you are afraid of? Becoming honest with yourself and revealing the real reason is the first step towards awakening the gift that’s patiently waiting for you to acknowledge its presence.
