Holding Back

"Are you ready? It's your turn to jump into the greatest moment of your life!" said the bungee jumper expert, Ray. Flan only gulped and stared at the steep fall of a cliff that he will jump off. Suddenly, a surge of fear overcomes him. "I..I can't do this!" said Flan, taking off his attire that was given to prepare his death-defying act. "But wait!" said Ray. "I too, was a new one like you. At least listen to me." Flan could only relucantly agreed.

Often times, something or someone is holding us back. Let me name a few...

EGO

 FEAR

DEATH

FAMILY

FRIENDS

TAKING CHANCES

DOING SOMETHING NEW

Flan was glad he listened to Ray. He threw his fear of heights aside, and put on the attire, with Ray helping him. Flan gave a thumbs up as he took in a big breath. "Remember what I told you!" said Ray. "On the count of 3! 3, 2, 1!" With a burst of utmost courage, Flan leapt off the edge of the cliff, leaving Ray smiling.

So hey, what about you today? Flan threw aside his fear of heights to enjoy the thrill of bungee jumping. Perhaps you've been elected as president of a council, a leader, or something new. So give a little wonder :

"What's holding you back from success / progress today?"
