You\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ve went through this long enough while circling the grounds of despair and confusion. You\u2019ve been over a barrel on this one, not knowing what to do or where to go. And after all that\u2019s happened lately, you are ready to move on. So, you wipe the final tears from your face. You straighten your shoulders. And you\u2019re off, on to new horizons. To new things. To better things. Things that truly nurture your soul.<\/p>\n
Day by day you\u2019re feeling better now. And slowly the ground under your feet starts to feel secure again. Heck, there are even days you are able to smile again. And just when you think you\u2019re home free and ready to take a step forward they hit you out of the blue. The old familiar voices you know so well show up once again. There they are, Mr Fear<\/em>, Mrs Insecurity<\/em> and Mss Hesitant<\/em>. You\u2019ve had it with them. You were so looking forward to leave your past behind and start over. So why do they keep coming back? Why do they still haunt you with their ominous stories?<\/p>\n You know by now it won\u2019t work to ignore them. To walk past them, pretending not to hear what they\u2019re saying. To cover their words with food, drinks and humor in the hope they\u2019ll go away. You\u2019ve tried that and you learned the hard way it didn\u2019t work out that well. So now what?<\/p>\n Give up on the dreams you\u2019ve held for so long? Abandon your hopes of a future as good as anyone else has? Walk away from what might be?<\/p>\n No. You\u2019re through with this. You are going to settle this thing, once and for all.<\/p>\n So you invite them all to your home. You sit them down at your table and you ask them to show their hands.<\/p>\n There\u2019s Mrs Are You Sure You Wanna Go Through With This<\/em>. Next to her, shaking his head, is Mr It Will Never Work<\/em>. On the other side of the table you recognize Mr It\u2019s Not Meant For You To Happen<\/em>,\u00a0 with a smirk on his face. And of course there\u2019s Mss It Never Worked So Why Would It Work Out Now<\/em>.<\/p>\n They\u2019ve all come to meet you. And now is your chance.<\/p>\n With an intense and determined gaze you look them straight in the eye and one by one you give them the final chance to speak what\u2019s on their mind. To tell what they so desperately want you to hear. And you let them speak. You don\u2019t interrupt their outburst of worries and fears. You just listen, patiently. Without revealing your fear, without showing your anger. All the while keeping your cool.<\/p>\n When they\u2019re done talking and they\u2019ve laid all their cards out on the table the room goes silent. Not a word nor sound is heard. For a minute you stare at the table in front of you and you see the cards they played. They played you the fear-card. They played you the unworthy-card. They played you the inadequate-card. And deep inside in your gut you feel them. For a brief moment it seems these old feelings rise up once again to try and hold you in their grip.<\/p>\n Your heart starts beating faster and faster and little pearls of sweat appear on your skin. You try to swallow, but a huge lump has taken hold of your throat, hindering you to speak.<\/p>\n
