From the mind of critic: “When there’s no way to go but up, what about sideways? If there is no way to go but forward, what about sidestepping or backpedaling? Are we simply telling ourselves up or forward is the only possible direction, because we feel like we’ve hit rock bottom, or are trying to convince ourselves it is the bottom, just to give ourselves a chance to progress? When we’re scared to move forward, and take those steps we know we need to take from the bottom of our soul, sometimes we procrastinate, delay and pause because we’re scared. Sometimes this fear isn’t felt because we don’t want to fail, but because we’re afraid to succeed. The auspices of achieving our dreams can be easy to imagine, because they’re way at the end of a long journey. It’s so far away, that it doesn’t seem real. However, once we take steps toward that seeming impossibility, it starts changing into a real thing, which scares the shit out of us. This thing might actually happen we tell ourselves, we might actually achieve our dreams. Even though it’s something we’ve always wanted, we can fear it because its so different than what we’re living through presently, that it would flip our world upside down. Once we realize that breaking out of our comfort zone is exactly how we succeed, because not everything in that zone is to our benefit, and sometimes the exact opposite, we’ll see we need not fear success because it’s different, we need to fear stagnation disguised as success trying to keep everything the same. We stop moving sideways and start moving forward, when we turn fear into excitement. Rock bottom can always be lower, and dreams can be more vibrant depending on perception. We always choose our direction, even if we forfeit our choice. If we truly want to succeed, we’ll stop making excuses why we can’t, and formulate thoughts and then actions to prove to ourselves we can.” ?
