Failure?

When you stand at the edge of a drop and know that you need to take the step off into the unknown, and find that at that moment you cannot, is that not just being human? Failure is when you know you have to something, it must be done, and you walk away and know that you will not do it. To take a step back, to review your options, to postpone the decision when there is no need for action now, that is just a setback. The only problem is that the longer the action is postponed, the more likely it is that you may reach a point where it is no longer an option. So the only thing that needs to be decided now is; if the option is taken away from you, if circumstances change that you no longer feel you can take the step off, can you live with yourself, the situation?

If you must take the step, then you need to either work out what is holding you back and deal with those issues, or just take a deep breath, push down all of your concerns and fears, close your eyes and do it. Maybe not at this instant, but soon. For the uncertainty the fear the frustration can only increase and that can be of no use to anyone. Least of all to you.



The words are easy for you to say.



Lucifer, words are always easy to say. Especially when I do not have to fulfil them. I have never had to make a difficult choice. The option has either not been mine to be had or it has been painless, for me, to make. I have to spend the rest of my living with myself, all others are transient and I can only influence their lives so far. In the end, the being I am most responsible for is me.
