Oh, there's my brick wall....

I can see the silhouette forming in the distance. The shadowy outline, of the my mystical imagination, that will change my life. I have prepared my mind to stand before it and only one question remains. Do you embrace it or turn and run?

For months I have told the same story. The story of my new adventure luming on the horizon. And I am excited. The world has so much to offer, and we, have but the choice to live it. Living with a wild imagination, as I do, there are endless possibilities. I imagine how things will be, the colorful world that I will immerse myself with in. Yet, there is my flaw that stops me. My fear of the unknown. The further I walk on my journey the more I realize that I am the only thing getting in the way. I have held on to this idea of what my life would be like for so long that I sometimes block out what my life has really become. It is simply, wonderful. The more I realize this one true fact, the more the sun begins to shine down on me. The brighter the sun shines, the silhouette becomes more clear. It is not a brick wall that I once thought, it is a door that I stand before. A choice. The door that holds my future, and the key resting in my palm.

I do fear this door somedays. Affraid to touch the knob as though it is firy hot. Affraid to get burned. Or what if the key doesn't fit. How long I have walked to be rejected and it not be opened unto me. And if I choose the wrong door, if I missed a step or a turn along the way. So many possibilities of what stands on the other side. But there is one thing I know to be true. If I never step through the threshold, I will never know what could have been.
