The Dilemma of Human Will

I fear that time is on a fast-tracked train, steadily speeding away from me, with the days dancing away and months stretching out in uncertainty.

I am overwhelmed by anxiety to do more, do better, to not be stuck, which is a bitter contradiction, as like glue, anxiety keeps you overwhelmed, with the feeling that you’re well…stuck.

I must carve out my fear to move forward, but is it not that fear, harnessed positively, that gives motivation? This is the dilemma of human will.

I am at a standstill because I cannot afford to stand still.

Pushing forward through this odyssey, that is inevitable. A Herculean task, discipline is. Nonetheless, we must keep charging forward, for backwards was never an option.

And it is ironically, that same fear that drives you and keeps you on the path, while making you wonder if it is even the right path at all.

  1. Well surmised Dany… . What to do when the same force that pushes you forward pulls you backwards?
