Walking A Straight Line

DestinysPerspectives

Like those around me, I was taught to draw large circles.

Like those around me, I learned the circular motion of my feet cycling through life’s hard lessons.

Like those around me, I felt the war in my heart, mind and soul.

Like those around me, a part of me yearned for my feet to walk on an infinite straight line.

Like those around me, a part of me held self belief in mastery through experience.

Like those around me, a part of me feared drawing a crooked line instead of a straight line.

Like those around me, a part of me feared that I was unworthy of an ambitious possibility.

Now unlike the people around me, I am choosing hope over fear.

Now unlike the people around me, I am choosing to see my worth instead of delusions of lack.

Now unlike the people around me, I walk in a straight line instead of circular motions.

      Thank you! I am glad the messaging was clear the way I expressed it. I felt that it was relatable to many and could apply to so many categories in life.

            I think sometimes that flow in writing comes naturally .. if we are in a certain place in our mind .. maybe .
