Indecision. Fear. Paralysis.

Choices

swirling in the ambiguity

fear of the unknown

indecision

paralysis.

Fear tells us

we can't cope

with what's ahead.

helpless

powerless

frozen in the whirl.

Fear grows stronger

looms larger

projects the loudest voice.

When we acquiesce

we commit to sameness

predictable

the opinions of others

safety.

Indecision is choice (cloaked).

What if turbulent emotions

disrupting thoughts

were a clue

that courage

was waiting around the corner.

Take a heartfelt

chest-full

belly-full breath.

Connect inward

quiet fear's voice

trust your inner wisdom

your hard-won knowledge of you.

You have the answers

unlike anyone else.

You have the resources

regardless of where this choice leads you.

Every choice is momentum

every choice is control

to a point

empowered

accountable.

Make a commitment to

ongoing self-exploration

self-discovery

resilience.

Choose

Trust

Shine

Thrive

Do it your way.
