Ourselves

It’s not the outside world holding us back from achieving what we say we want. It is, more often than not, ourselves.

It is ourselves, by not walking away we know we should. It is ourselves, when we don’t make present sacrifices for future gratification. It is ourselves, when we make excuses rather than seeking solutions. It is ourselves, when we know better but don’t choose to do better, because it is too hard.

But, when we hold ourselves accountable for what is within our control… only then, can we take ownership to change what we have control over.
