Leading Hesitations
Every once in a while, courage will pass by your doorstep. It appears after you conquer something that seemed impossible. It will brighten the way. As soon as it appears, lead it to your darkest places. It will guide you through treacherous paths.
Most of the time, however, hesitation sits on the porch of our lives. It lingers like an unwanted extended family member whose lineage we can’t recall.
Oddly enough, you must also lead those hesitations.
Coerce them to embark upon a journey to a far-off land where they will meet their old friends, uncertainty and comparison. Convince them that you have no more food to eat, no more time to spend, and no more need for their voice. Cast a vision for them to find the man who’s on the brink of something unjust or unhelpful. Let them find their home with him.
Lead your hesitations to another place. By doing so, you’ll leave room for courage to arrive.
