We all have that ‘something (s)’ that got us to where we are,

at this time and space and place.

But we know,

that what got us here won’t get us ‘there’.

‘There’ is where we want to go,

but we aren’t able to.

We know that we are doing certain things right for sure,

which helped us reach where we are.

Why aren’t we able to go ‘there’,

we may know but not sure if that is what it is,

or we are in the process of trying to understand,

but haven’t reflected on it, consciously…

Deep down and from time to time,

there is that voice which pops up to say,

“Why aren’t you pushing the envelope?

Why aren’t you pushing the boundary?”

and that is when conscious reflection happens.

“Why am I not pushing the envelope?

Why am I not pushing the boundary?

What is stopping me?

The answer is one that we may be aware of, vaguely or otherwise.

it strikes like a bolt from the blue,

and has the power to knock our socks off, pleasantly or unpleasantly.

Or it could be something that we aren’t able to put a finger onto and remains elusive,

either we aren’t ready for it or we aren’t ready to accept it.

Or it could be like that piece in the jigsaw puzzle that has fallen into place,

giving a sense of freedom, that we have acknowledged

what’s coming in the way of pushing the boundary or envelope.

Knowing can be emotional!

Knowing is relief!!

Knowing is the start of a different journey!!!

Knowing makes a dream come true!!!!

Push that envelope..

Push that boundary..

Make that dream come true..

Life is to be lived the way it needs to be..
