Awakening,

I really hate the word can't.......IMO.....It means, I won't, I don't have too. Yes, I too believe that it is the emotions behind the words "I can't" that hold us back. Fear, shame, guilt, anger, or whatever. Those emotions are real, and warranted. But, to hold onto them, stops you from moving forward. I hold on to guilt and I am struggling on HOW to let go of it. I am working toward that goal. Yes, It is a struggle, but I am trying.

I think that for those of us that have those feelings (myself included) we need to really look at the emotions and see if they apply to us now. Is it time that we leave those emotions, resolve them, and focus on moving forward???

We only need to be responsible for what we own, and nothing more.

As I have said to another member here.....What each of us write is only an opinion. It isn't attacking, or belittling, or judging. If a thread or post upsets or triggers someone, then apparently it is an issue within them that isn't being resolved. I have been trigger by threads, and posts too. I try to figure out why, and how to resolve it.

I for one am glad that this thread is here. I think it has a lot of people thinking. I know it has triggered others. Hopefully it will allow us all as a community to come together for a common goal. To help each other overcome our fears.....
