from the mind of critic-12/1/16

From the mind of critic: ” If we go in through the out door or out through in the door, are we carving our own path that many of us have thought about, but very few have carried out? Is it fear that holds us back from going our own way, some unseen force that will squash us the moment we step out of line? Or do we not clear our own path because our critical thinking skills are working overtime, and because organizing these thoughts is as far as we’ve ever gotten, when it actually comes time to design, chart and then walk our own path, we have no energy left? Taking to much time organizing and planning can prevent us from taking action, becasue we feel the planning is the action, whether we are choosing our own path or not. However, if we are delving into the dark and scary unknown, we must remember that when we have nothing to fear but fear itself, that fear comes from us, and whatever we percieve. This is the ultimate self roadblock, we can paralyze ourselves with a zillion variables, or no variabes at all depending on how we see the unknown. If people have told us to get over ourselves, it is simply an inarticulate way of somebody telling us to get out of our own way. Whatever door, window or path we choose, success will always find us if we allow it to. And we allow it by being open and honest about what’s in front of us, not what our self sabotage thinks. Doors will always open for us, when we pull the keys out of our pocket”
