The Key

The following is not a short story like the previous two posts, but a quick writing for some food for thought. I was inspired to write the following after thinking about a coaching session I had wrapped up this past fall. The entire drive home that night I could not get out of my head is how so many times we get caught up self-sabotaging ourselves because what we tell ourselves no matter what we are trying to do or even before trying something new. Words are powerful. They have the potential to lock or unlock important parts of life. Use your key wisely now.

The Key

By: Monica Tews

It’s time to unleash your potential,

Which has been caged in your mind

With a key of four words.

I can do it!

What happened?

Somewhere along the way,

You lost the key,

And tried replacing it

With someone else’s.

Did it work?

I doubt it.

Now doubt is the only one hanging around.

You are a burglar at night

Trying to break into your own home

Since you’ve been away far too long.
