Pursuit, Plateau, Possibilities

by Dawn Storey on April 25, 2012

Pursuit:
tackling with enthusiasm the gradual, uphill climb
clear of vision, destination, desires
energy expended bringing joyful successes
earning, receiving, deserving

Plateau:
taking shortcuts through the same old, same old
clouded with fear, risk-aversion, hesitation to commit
limited effort producing mediocre results
slacking, lacking, disappointing

Possibilities:
rekindling the fire of inspiration and energy
confident in hope, purpose, willingness to strive
renewed dedication begetting celebrated triumphs
winning, accepting, meriting

  Very true, Scarlett! Unfortunately I seem to be stuck at “Plateau” at the moment!

  Thank you so much, Sabrina! As I mentioned above, I feel as though I’m stuck at “Plateau” at the moment, so I needed to remind myself that it doesn’t have to end there!

It’s one of those inevitable cycles of life–the trick is remembering that it all comes around again.
