'temporary Halt'

Today might be "that day" When playing the victim Might have to end You need to face the challenge Head on Hiding behind the frontage of 'I can't' Uttering the words 'I am not ready' Won’t always work Somehow you need to try again Somehow you need to want to move on You need to want to go beyond yesterday's mistake Placing yourself out there again Will bring a different view Will open you to other possibilities Then the ones your mind's Awakening is showing to you Do not stare blindly at your situation Temporary halt Does not define Ultimate destination

Wonderful! A great message here. A temporary halt is just a pause to reflect on where you've been and where you want to go now.
