What is it . . . that drives us, that makes us seek more, and yet question what we have done?

Writing was a ‘passion’ that prompted me to do many things.  I believed I knew what empowered me, and even went so far as to think I saw a brief glimpse again, recently, which provoked this blog.

But perhaps I was wrong.

Passion can stir the mind, drive us to new heights, open the doors to opportunity . . . or destroy us . . . all in but the twinkling of an eye.

I have found, somewhat to my own surprise, that writing is NOT the singular ‘passion’ that fuels my desire to continue forward with this endeavor.  No matter how much I enjoy the ‘written word’ it is not enough, in and of itself, to move forward.

It would seem that, given the timeline of this blog thus far, I don’t have that elusive passion needed to instill the ‘drive’ to write.  That, however, is far from the base reality of the situation.

What is it . . . that continues to bring me here untold times these past weeks, staring at an empty text box?

What is it . . . that stops me from expressing my thoughts and eclectic viewpoints?

It’s quite simple actually.

It is not that I lack inspiration, but rather, have allowed ‘hesitation’ to impede me.

You see, it is not only the writing that empowers us, but what we choose to write ABOUT that is important.  And I have allowed myself to walk precariously down that ‘road to procrastination’ by NOT speaking out ABOUT the things that I have an undying passion for.  I let doubt ‘limit’ what I wanted to do.

I believe we all have those moments when we look around us and feel as though our own thoughts are not worthy of mention, and our abilities are questionable.  That is simple human nature.

Only when we allow it to control our actions and lead us to self doubt do we, indeed, LOSE ourselves.

It is time for me to “take my own advice” and REMOVE THE LIMITS I have imposed upon myself.

What is it . . . that stops YOU from doing what you seek?

Could it be that self same ‘doubt’ that I have experienced recently?  Are you questioning your abilities and ‘worthiness’ to accomplish what you set out to do?

Then let’s move FORWARD together NOW!
