Beware the backsliding

I made the life changing decision to move on
And it was a liberating feeling,
I felt so much lighter, relieved that I don't have to live the pain anymore.
Life was going to be so much better.
The euphoria of the decision stayed with me for days.

Stop collecting baggage

Looking back at my life...

In my teens...
I looked at the world with innocence,
People were good, everyone could be trusted,
There could be no wrong in the world.
Energy wise, no negative energies had latched on.

It's just one step at a time

I took the first step...
It was not a very big one,
Just a small step because my heart told me 'it won't hurt to try'.

I was nervous at first
Apprehensive and scared.

I took the first step...
My fears did not materialise,
Wow, I actually felt nice, lighter, happy.
I realised that there was nothing to be afraid of, nothing gobbled me up.

My confidence increased, my strength grew,
I felt better than I had in a long time.

And so I took the next step...
The apprehension and fear was less,
I was riding on the high from my first step.

And so I carried on, one step at a time
Growing in strength and courage, leaving the fear behind.

I soon realised that I had taken several steps,
And then I looked back
I could not see the person who was scared to take that first step
For the person I had become had taken charge of my life and destiny.

Looking ahead there are many more steps to take,
I take each step knowing that it can only get better.

In Love and Light
