Living within the Parameters

Limits. Boundaries. Do you ever feel constricted by the boundaries that have been placed on your life?

I'm here to tell you that you aren't alone. I've tried too hard. I've tried to live an excellent life. I've tried to meet the standards that were consciously or subconsciously set for me by those who surround me.

The fact is, I refuse to continue living within the parameters that people have set for me. I'm breaking out. Yes, I may fail. I may fall flat on my face. Truth is, if I cannot risk it now, when?

My life's purpose is not to meet your standards. I have nothing to prove to you. You no longer have control over my life with your expectations. You think I will fail? I know. You've thought that all along. Is that why you still stand here? Is it gratifying to you that I fall on my face?

O well. Let it be as it should. I'm refocusing my attention to the ONE who really matters. You may sneer, but that's okay.

Let it be as it should.
