Get out of your own way

We all end up, at one time or another, at an impasse.  It is easy to blame others, and situations for this happening.  What I am learning is that many times, it is me who is blocking the path.  It might be an old memory, or a habit I need to break, or even just what I expect of myself.  Whatever it is, I have the choice to look at it carefully and see if it is me putting up roadblocks.  I, for one, try to change others at times.  Maybe it is time to use that energy to make some changes of my own, since I am the only one I can change, anyway.  Make a ripple, be the example, see what happens.
