I’ve had this book on my shelf since the year it came out. I hadn’t read it due to having a concussion following a few car accidents that made reading difficult. Today, though, I decided to spend some time reading and let me tell you something, this book is riveting and spellbinding.
I’m about a quarter of the way through it, and it just keeps propelling me to read more. The story starts with a young woman wanting to avenge the death of her sister, and then it morphs into so much more. A fascinating tale of a woman breaking the confines of what’s expected and becoming more than what their world thinks they can be.
And I think this can be said of any of us. Although for most of us here, the barrier is our own mind. Our mind stops us from reach our potential because we listen to the negative thoughts. Those thoughts overwhelm us like a shroud shroud that we can’t see through.
What if we just pushed ourselves beyond what we think we’re capable of into the realm of what feels like the unknown. What could we do then? How much more could we accomplish if we push beyond the fears?
Maybe we could rise up and take control of our own chrysalis and emerge with a new form, a heroic form or beyond. Sometimes that takes us stepping out of our comfort zone and standing without fear, even though fear might be clawing away inside, in the face of the unknown. Kind of like the quote, fake it until you make it.
People will always try to stop you from going after what they believe is unattainable to them, but that doesn’t mean it’s unattainable to you. You have more strength inside you than you think you do. You have unspoken abilities that are just beneath the surface, waiting for you to believe in yourself.
Maybe you should become your own iron widow towards anything mentally negative that you might be telling yourself about who you are, and fight to take back your life and live your dreams.
That’s my plan anyway. 🙂
Have a great day!
Have you pre-ordered Her Prison His Game?
In the middle of a forest, in an unknown location, is a game. A psychological game designed to play with the mind until it breaks.
The man responsible wants fresh meat. Someone who hasn’t experienced the horrors of the real world. He wants to see how long it would take to make them fall apart, to make them wish for death.
Combing the city of Surrey, he spots his next target…a young librarian named Jenna McCay.
Jenna McCay didn’t realize that when you turn 19, the easy life she knew would end, and the horrors of life would set in, in unimaginable ways.
Will she find the strength to survive the game, or will she break before the final curtain falls?
