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.
Sharlene, 2014.
