Take the handbrake off

Posted on by philipdodson

We drive our lives like a car with the handbrake on, scared of going too fast, scared of letting go.

Release the handbrake, remove the shell of fear, break out and liberate yourself.

We all have allowed ourselves and others to impose fear on us, from the moment we are born we are told ‘don’t’.

We can reverse that slowly but surely by telling ourselves ‘do’.

Let your car of life roll down the hill freely without the handbrake on.

You might crash or you might steer yourself to the destination you want.

You’ll never know until you release the brake.

If you want easy

If you want an easy ride, then don’t expect too much out of life.

Anything of any value in life relies on commitment.

You have to show up.

We’ll have plenty of time to ease up at the end of our journeys.

So apply for that job, sing that song, fall in love, start that new business, travel to that place, spend time on what matters, and most of all enjoy the ride.

Easy things turn to hard as regret wears us down.

Conversely, hard things, the things we really want to do stopped by fear and an attraction to easy things to avoid showing up, become easier and easier to do once you start.

Deep down no one wants easy, we all want something worthwhile.
