waking up.

There are times when we can’t fully rely on our own judgement.
We become biased, prejudiced or overly emotionally involved in a situation.
Our opinions are coloured by our hopes and desires.
We see what we want to see, we believe what we want to believe


...and then we do whatever we have persuaded ourselves to do
regardless of how wise or unwise this may be.
We do it because at the time it made us happy.
And for a moment we were willing to see where it led.
Until we put too much thought into it and let it end.

the story is only half told. the rest is unwritten.

Think back please, to some of the ’greatest mistakes of your life’.
Remember the moments when you found yourself ’on the wrong side of a threshold’ or ’past a point of no return’
Now recall the way those situations turned themselves around.
Which of them would you seriously undo, unpick or alter even if you possibly could?
These weren’t mistakes, they were essential steps.
