One Minute Mindfulness - How To Stay Committed To Change

Until we're able to face ourselves,

Our patterns,

And our fears,

Life will continue to give us the same lessons over and over.

In order to learn from them and move beyond them,

We have to remain dedicated to changing and growing despite any outside forces that may make us want to remain small and hidden.

We must keep pushing forward gently within ourselves.

Even when we're around people that we imagine make it difficult for us to change,

We have to be firm in our commitment to realizing our potential.

The societal pressures that are influencing us can take many forms and be very strong.

To overcome them,

We must commit to embracing change and to better understanding ourselves.

We must not let others' perceptions of who we are and who we might become limit us from growing and changing our patterns.

This is a dangerous roadblock,

For it's often very subtle and stems from a lifetime of living in fear and seeking approval.
