Break free
Often we tend to keep ourselves in cages of our own making, rooted in self-limiting beliefs, in our preoccupation with an elusive perfectionism, and in our automatic ways of being and behaving. We assume that things will continue to be the way they’ve always been (aka bad), that we aren’t good enough, and that we can’t possibly have all that we wish for.
We keep ourselves small because to even conceive of the alternative would mean to believe in ourselves — to love ourselves — and to break free of the cages we are so used to living in. To break free would mean a new worldview!
To break free — we would have to be different, bolder, and confident. To break free we would have to believe in our own capacity for change. To break free we would have to love ourselves enough to work relentlessly towards our dreams, fears in tow, and to know deep inside our core that Yes We Can!
What cages are you keeping yourself locked in? Where might you break free with your writing and in your life? Share with us in the comments.
