A Line In The Sand


It's time to draw a line in the sand.

Metaphorically drag a stick through the earth and stand opposite.

Stare at the line you've made.

Pace back and forth and scratch chin sluggishly, wondering on which side of the sand you should stand.

Place the body of your failures on one side, and witness it for a while from the other.

Feel unconfident, to begin with, that leaving that body on the other side is right.

Feel unconfident, to begin with, that leaving that body on the other side is right.

Feel unconfident, to begin with, that leaving that body on the other side is right.

Eventually find solace in the thought that it is made and done and set in stone, and unlike the sand is no longer moveable or changeable.

Accept it.

All you can do now is move forward.

Just ensure that when you take your first few steps, that hopefully will transform into a confident stride, that you are stood on the right side of that line.
