Are You Still Holding Yourself Captive

I don’t know how to say this any other way but just STOP

I have recently encountered too many conversations of “well when I was a child” or “my parents didn’t allow me to”, “I’ve always been told not to”

Okay. Okay I get it, there are certain things that may have traumatized us as a child, more so embarrassed us. I for certain experienced my share and probably a few of someone else but it didn’t stop me from growing into the person I am now. And you know what? I don’t think it has stopped you. I know you’re AWESOME, just GREAT. But I bet you use those phrases as an excuse and they have been beneficial for you to squeeze out of a tight spot

STOP IT. You are holding your next level of greatness as a hostage to something that happened 100 years ago. I always use 100 years when it’s been a long time ago. It’s a habit. Our parents protected us on what they perceived was rough (and that may have applied at that time). Since the world keeps spinning we have evolved in so many ways.

Stop being held captive of the past. Just do it. If professional counseling is necessary, please get it. I believe in you and I know you too are ready to unleash a higher level of you. And if your negative environment or surroundings are holding you captive it’s time to release yourself from others restraints on you. It’s time

Now get your pen, pencil, paper and write down the actions you need to apply to get out of that captive hold.
