It's All In Your Head


You started noticing something different about yourself. 

You weren't quite sure what it was.

You never felt it before, so this feeling must be real. 

You're growing up and things are starting to end in life, so a new chapter is starting.

You still feel stuck, but you're not stuck because you don't have any of the qualifications of what it means to be grown up. 

But you feel like it is your time. 

You don't know how to get started.

Nobody knows how you feel.

No one may know what the feeling is either.

Maybe it's all in your head.

It could be. 

But you haven't done anything differently. 

When are you going to start? 

Tomorrow? Tomorrow has passed and you still haven't done anything. 

When will you start? 

Maybe you don't want to do anything. 

You feel like it, but you don't do anything about it. 

What's going on? 

Maybe it's all in your head. 

You pray for God to help you, but that isn't who is going to help you. 

Everything starts with you! God can't help you. You need to do this for yourself. 

Everyday is a new day, but you're still not doing anything. 

You don't feel happy. 

Nothing, is making you feel satisfied. 

You know, you have a shopping addiction and eat when your bored. You did both and still feel that feeling. 

It's all in your head,dude. Stop listening. Because there is more out there for you. 

But it all starts with YOU.
