Don’t Hold Back

 Why is it that when we start to find things difficult we hold back? Why is it that when we fault or struggle we hold back? Why is it that when we get injured we hold back? Why do we hold back in life so much?

I’ll tell you why, it’s because we doubt ourselves. We doubt our capabilities. We doubt our potential. We doubt our heart and souls. We doubt what we can be and exceed. We hold back  because we are afraid of dusting ourselves off, healing our wounds, and standing tall because we are afraid that we might return right back to where we were at in the first place and that keeps us down.

Stop holding back from where you can be and need to go. Holding back is crippling to your heart and soul. Holding back physically cripples you. Holding back keeps you from inspiring others and sharing your story of how you triumphed because you didn’t hold back. 

I’ve held back for some time now because of my knee surgery. I’ve held back for some time now because of my Chiari malformation disability. I’ve held back for some time now because I don’t think I’m smart enough or good enough in the educational field. I’ve held back for some time now because the world has been turned upside down and I don’t how to fix it like I usually do.

I’m tired of holding back and you should be too. I’m going to get up every time. I’m going to stand tall. I’m going to run forward with all the hurt, all the pain, all the joy, all the confidence, all the Hope, all the Faith, and all the Love I have in my life because holding back has kept me down and out to often. 

Let’s stop holding back!  I’m ready! You ready? Let’s roll!
