That’s it, push your own agenda
Is your mind taking you somewhere
Somewhere you don’t want to go?
Then force it elsewhere
Take it where it doesn’t want to go
Then see who breaks first.
It’ll talk big
It’ll speak in absolutes.
Until it sees you’re resolve
That you absolutely won’t break
Without a shred of a doubt.
Where it doesn’t want you to go is clear
It doesn’t do a good job hiding it
Tells you right away when it’s bothered.
As open as it is though
It sure is persistent.
It’ll take you down whatever level it chooses
For whatever reason it chooses to.
You’re reason for changing hasn’t changed
Take control and fight back.
There’s a moment where you can feel it — that shift between what your mind wants to happen and what you know needs to happen. It’s subtle at first, almost easy to miss, but once you catch it, you’re no longer playing on autopilot. That’s when the real battle begins. It’s when you realize that your mind will throw everything it can at you to keep you comfortable, to keep you in the same place. It’s scared of change, even if that change is for the better.
But here’s the thing — you’ve got more power than it does. Sure, the mind can make things uncomfortable, can make you doubt, can make you hesitate. It can fill your thoughts with excuses, fears, and reasons to turn back. But you, you can move despite it. You can push through. And with every push, every step forward, the mind learns who’s really in control.
Every time you do what your mind says you can’t, you weaken its grip. You turn the volume down on the voice that tells you to quit. You solidify your path, and with every challenge you face head-on, you become stronger, more resilient. This is how you carve out the person you want to be — not by letting the mind dictate your actions, but by choosing your actions despite what your mind says. This is how you take control.
Now, all that’s left is to keep moving. The doubt will still be there, but its voice will grow fainter. The discomfort will persist, but it will no longer hold you back. You’ve done this before, and you can do it again. You know the way — now show your mind who’s really in charge.
