What Do You Want?
What questions are you hesitating to ask yourself because you're afraid of what the answers might be?
Accepting responsibility for your own freedom is difficult to do. There's something about that "responsibility" word that we tend to shy away from, even as adults. It's far easier (and frankly, more fun, in most instances) to aimlessly move through each passing day without asking ourselves, "What do you want?"
A big part of the problem is that, in most cases, we don't have the answer. Sure, we can quickly spout out something when provoked, but when we dig deeper and ask, "But what do you really want," we're like a deer in headlights, frozen still, unsure of what to do.
But even if we know what we want, it can be difficult to come right out and put the necessary things in motion to go out and achieve it. You've found a way to hide what you want under years of excuses and justifications as to why it's not really what you want.
Be honest with yourself. The easiest person to deceive is the person in the mirror.
The truth is, you must ask yourself the question. But what's more important than that is you must want to know the answer.
Knowing the questions to ask and asking them are two completely different things.
Ask the question. Embrace the answer.
