Manhole

Painful emotions are hard to deal with. Especially when they are keeping you from growth.  Most keep them under the manhole cover and play like there is nothing below. It’s easy to do because the cover weighs 200lb and it’s a busy street. 

Why bother?

Keeping the deeper issues at bay is only natural. Why bring it back up? I have things to do. I don’t need to revisit it. It’s in the past and I’m moving forward.

But are you really moving forward? What lurks below can be a force multiplier in a seemingly positive way. But eventually it will stop you in your tracks.  

It’s only a matter of time.

It’s better to be brave and slide the manhole cover and make friends with the painful parts. Too heavy? Hire a pro to help.

Staying stuck is fearfully choosing the pain you do know over the pain you don’t.
