Bite-sized Thoughts on Resistance
Some stanzas on the thoughts behind the thoughts
Some people don’t want to acknowledge their dreams because then they’ll have no excuses to not pursue it.
Some people don’t want to be successful because they fear change and judgement from others.
Some people don’t want to be rich because they feel like they’d be betraying their roots.
Some people don’t want to be respected by their peers because they don’t want the scrutiny that comes with it.
Some people don’t want to get into shape because they’re worried they’ll leave their partner.
Some people don’t want to live in a big house as they don't want to be seen as ostentatious.
Some people don’t want to achieve their goals because then they'll no longer be able to play the victim.
Some people don’t want to try because trying opens them up to failure.
Some people don’t want to find love in case they lose that love.
Some people don’t create because they can’t create masterpieces immediately.
Some people choose unhappiness over uncertainty because it meets their needs, not their dreams.
Some people don’t believe in themselves because they think having confidence is egotistical or a character flaw.
Some people don’t try to improve because to do that they’d have to admit they were wrong.
Some people have a hard life because they've only ever chosen to do easy things.
Some people can't grow because they won't let go of things that happened twenty or thirty years ago.
Some people believe they have it harder than others because it's a comforting lie to believe in.
Some people put things off because they think they have time.
Some people think that they’re weak because they believe other people are strong.
Some people don’t achieve great things because they were too preoccupied with being realistic.
Some people don’t want to set goals because they don’t know what they’ll do if they achieve them.
Some people believe other people care about their woes or their achievements.
Some people believe their dreams are in some far off esoteric place so they don't bother walking towards them,
Most people need to trust the process, let go and allow things to happen.
Get out of your way and start.
