Can’t allow myself to remain down
Life goes on
With me or without me
I won’t let a few hits keep me down
The man I want to be
The man I know I am
He wouldn’t stay down
He’d laugh it off
He’d find another way through
Not asking for permission anymore
I know what I want in life
I know what I have to do
Staying in my head won’t resolve it
This time I opt to go back to action
Leave thinking behind for the moment
Just need to regain momentum
The fall slowed me down a bit
It fogged my eyesight
Got to clear my vision now.
Life doesn’t stop to accommodate your pain—it keeps moving, and that’s not a threat, it’s a reminder. You’ve stood still long enough. The thoughts had their time. The emotions had their say. But none of them build what you’re trying to build. What moves things forward now is movement itself. No more negotiations with hesitation. You’ve got too much to prove and no time to waste explaining why you fell. You’re still in the fight—that’s all that matters.
You’ve always had the vision. Even when the path blurred, the destination never left your mind. That’s why you’re still here. Not everyone gets back up. But you? You’ve been through worse and still rose stronger. Now it’s about dusting off the fog and locking in again. The man you see in your mind, he isn’t waiting for the perfect conditions—he’s sprinting through the storm. Channel him. Become him. Laugh in the face of setbacks and find another angle to climb.
There’s nothing left to analyze. You’ve done the thinking, sat with the weight, and heard all the doubts. Let the thoughts fade behind your footsteps now. Action is your answer. You’ll earn back your clarity not by sitting still but by accelerating through the haze. You don’t need more permission—you just need your next step. Momentum is waiting for you to start it. Don’t wait. Move.
