Limitless

Today I had a little talk with myself.  I asked myself why it had taken me so long to do something I could've done a long time ago.  I wasted years in idle mode; waiting on others to do what I was capable of doing myself.  Those are years that I won't and cannot get back.  Years where I could've been productively working, but I chose to "take a break" from doing what I loved.  You see I would have these, what I called, inspired and uninspired moments, which caused some untimely delays.  Unexplainable delays to be honest. Now, don't get me wrong.  There were days that I worked nonstop and my creative juices just flowed, but there were also times that I was so lackadaisical that I couldn't even motivate myself to pick up a pen to form one sentence on paper, let alone create a thought in my mind that people would find interesting.  Shoot, I even ventured out into other areas of the arts.  I loved it, but it didn't give me the same satisfaction as this does.  A friend once told me that some people are scared of success.  I don't think that's the case for me.  I don't think I'm as much scared of success as I am failure.  Hmpf, now that I think about it; fear of failure is what keeps so many from attaining their dreams.  Fear is the main factor that limits ones options or keeps them from even trying to succeed.  Ummm...well, you wanna know what else I did today?  I took the next step!  It's true what they say, that at times we have to encourage ourselves.  When there's no one in your corner cheering you on...you have to encourage yourself.  You have to be the one who tells you that you can do it.  You have to be the one who tells you that you're going to make it.  You have to be the one who tells you that no matter what he/she says or what they do..you can and will succeed.  You have to be the one who tells you that there are no boundaries...no limits to what you can achieve and/or become because it is when we become fearless that our opportunities become limitless.
