What’s Holding You Back

As I started to watch this video (referred by a life coach I work with), my first words (tearful, and my throat welled up), “God forgive me for my attitude of ingratitude; for my whining and complaining!  I have EVERYTHING, absolutely EVERYTHING going for me; a perfectly functioning body with no physical disabilities or challenges; a functioning brain with intelligence, wisdom and whit….so I ask myself, WHAT’S HOLDING YOU BACK?

My answer is ME!

There is something stirring within my soul at this moment, a kind of electrifying charge running through my body, as I listen to this man on another site, as I am about to post this one video.

We are facing challenging times; I am not physically, emotionally or spiritually disabled – so, again I ask myself, “What’s holding you back child?”  Perhaps the floodgates are about to open.  Perhaps that is why I am “shedding” myself of the material things of the world that have “dictated” where I should live.  Perhaps, more than a simple move a few blocks away….I am being prepared that I not be “weighed down and burdened by the things of the world;” that I will be ready when that knock comes on my door, “When I hear the Spirit say, ‘Come, follow me.’”  I won’t (like some of the disciples) have to say things like, but wait, I have to finishing cleaning the fish, or I have to get rid of this or that; I will be able to, “Go follow where the Spirit leads.”

What’s holding you back?  Do you think that you aren’t smart enough, pretty enough, educated enough?  That’s crap and I know it and you know it; you really know it, or would, if you really knew You.  Go ahead, look within, find yourself and let your self go and do what you were created to do, to be. We are human “be-ings,” yet how many of us actually “be”?  I live in yesterday and tomorrow and can’t be still long enough to just BE, to tap into ME, to know ME and my life purpose as a human ‘be’ing.

Enjoy and google this guy whenever you need to be reminded just how blessed….we all are.  Don’t let the “bad” news get you down about the economy!  Is the economy who you are, does it dictate whether or not you are “alive?”  Are you alive or do you simply, “exist from day to day,” and like I have so often been heard to say, “Oh my, where has the time gone; the days, months and years?”  How many actual moments of all that “time” was I alive?
