"You yourself are your own obstacle; rise above yourself." - Hafez
There is one true obstacle in life.
One which we all share.
Which we all face.
Which we all strive to overcome.
Our own minds.
In our own minds we have fears.
We have discomforts.
We have thoughts.
We have our own perspectives.
We have anger.
We have anxiety.
We have pain.
We have distraction.
We have irritation.
We have conflict.
We have truths.
We have lies.
Personal growth is about challenging all of that.
About governing ours minds.
About facing these mental barriers.
Having complete command of your mind.
Not letting your mind dictate your actions.
It is true liberation of the self.
Truly living.
Strive to live, live to strive.
