What stops you? Deep down, do you know your achilles heel? It might not be so obvious. When you see it, really see it, you recognize it right away. You might even feel foolish for not really recognizing its presence there all along. Maybe you saw it all along, but didn't know its name.
I have seen mine. To put it into word, it is expectations. Yours. Who you think I should be and what you think I should do. Depending on who you are, your expectations might be a big obstacle for me. You might be the person whose expectations of me are easy for me to get over.
When this comes up strong, it is a cold hell. I am frozen, unable to move. It passes, but the odds are I missed an important moment to act during that time.
I can tell myself that I am trying to avoid being rash. It's true, but it can also be a copout.
I can tell myself that I am trying to avoid being a jerk. It's true, but it can also be a copout.
Standing on the edge and desperately wanting to act.
Act.
act.
