From the mind of critic: “If often times it happens that we live our lives in chains, why do we never even know we have the key? Are we so comfortable with the chains that surround us because they’ve been there awhile, and although we’re aware they’re detrimental and are specifically responsibile for our downfall, they are familiar, and so we go with what’s comfortable but conforming, instead of what’s unknown and freeing? Is it fear, fear of the unknown that will flatten us the moment we try to better ourselves? Or are we not comfortable with our current situation and not comfortable with what could happen, while all the endless possibilities pour through our heads, causing us to spin out of control, with the key being one of the options that may or may not have gotten lost in the shuffle? There are many things in life that can block our physical, emotional, spiritual, financial and evolutionary progress, sometimes they come from the outside, but the majority of the time they’re self-inflicted. Maybe we wonder why there aren’t more of us that build others up, when we don’t take the time to build ourselves up. Maybe our self-deprecation has grown so large, that we’ve convinced ourselves that we don’t deserve happiness. Maybe if we were able to see this self-inflicted reverse psychology for what it is, we would grab that crusty old key, jam it in that rusted over lock, and bust through those chains that have been holding us back. Whether we’re awakening to the fact that we’ve always had the key, or we think about it every second of every day, we, and only we have the power to unlock our chains. And we can unlock them, but we have to want to, and we want to, right?” 🙂
