Moment Of Truth

There comes a moment of truth
Where you have to stop
Ask yourself what really matters
Then walk away from it all
And pursue only what is true.

We all have blind spots
They sabotage us
Honesty says we have them ~
Is the first step to rid them.

Can you really decide
To give up everything
For a belief, a principle?
Can you take comfort
In knowing who you are
And that being enough?

We reach a point
Where we just sit and watch
Others work and pursue
We come to accept our surrender
In being comfortable as we are.

This is a point of death.
You decide to stop growing.
Can we be solid enough
To Stand?
And be happy we can Stand?

Yes, we wind down with age
That does not mean
You have to give up
All hopes for a dream
For things new and wonderful.

Courage to change
And then doing it ~
That is the moment of truth.
