#537 What you think is holding you back probably isn’t

Actions overrule thoughts, and sometimes the best creative act – and the one requiring the most discipline – is doing nothing.

Because when you slow down your pace, suddenly you realize: there’s space.

There’s space for the thoughts and feelings you were so afraid to face.

There’s space to redirect the energy you’ve misplaced.

There’s space to rediscover everything that escaped your gaze while you were engaged in an endless rat race.

There’s space for you to remember
that before you learned not to listen
and constant distraction erased every trace
of the insights you so desperately chase
there was a place of stillness
a warm embrace
where all the answers were right there, in your face

Only when you’ve slowed down your mind’s pace
you realize
you were never out of place
you were navigating a self-inflicted maze
with only one way out:

Make space.
