The challenge of being human
Can stop us in our tracks
Every time we try to do
Anything that really counts
It is a part of who we are.
The tendency to be small.
The sense of getting overwhelmed
Of simply feeling scared
Thinking who am I to succeed
Procrastination constipation
Amnesia and paralysis
Just being uncomfortable
Being disorganized and confused
Not having enough time
Or closing down and not communicating
What needs to be said
Complaining about and judging what is
Rather than being at cause
In creating a change
Taking it personal
Taking offense
It is all about us, we think
Comparisons
Our worst against their best
Letting not wanting to do it stop us
Playing it safe
And being in control
Being confronted
The burden of looking good
It appearing to be
Just too much hard work
Thinking we already have it made
Deluding ourselves into complacency
Being out of integrity
Where our actions don't fit our words
Avoiding confrontation
Fear of addressing the issues
And fear of failing
Or simply looking silly
That keeps us in our place
Wondering, Wondering
How does anyone ever succeed?
