Why is what's most necessary the hardest to follow through with?

Why is what's best for you so difficult to approach?

Why can't we simply achieve such things with ease?

Would it be worth it if we did?

If we could somehow find a way to get exactly what we need and want

without the pain we have to go through to get up to that point,

would we simply take it for granted and forget its value?

Maybe not, but that doesn't make it any easier to seek out your necessities.

 

Why does the process of trying to achieve what you need to

create so much anxiety and fear surrounding the situation?

Why is it so much easier to run away from what you need

because fear says you don't need it that much and it's not worth the effort?

Why are those fears holding us back when we know it's better to face them?

Maybe because fear is persuasive and convinces us to live in misery,

even though we know the lies it tells only make us feel worse.

Perhaps we choose fear because it's easier than what's good for us, 

despite the detrimental consequences it can cause for us in the long run. 

 

Why are we afraid to share these struggles with those around us?

Why don't we be vulnerable with the people who are about us most?

Why do we keep these things to ourselves, not sharing them with anyone,

even those who ask about the trials or say they want to help?

Why are we too afraid of others finding out about our imperfections

to share with them the struggles that are eating us alive?

Do we decide that we have to handle everything ourselves

instead of acknowledging and accepting the people in our lives who care?

Perhaps we're too afraid of the vulnerability and lack the courage to share.

Maybe we can't bring ourselves to admit to others the troubles we have

because that means admitting to ourselves that they are real. 

If we acknowledge that we need help and have a problem,

it means we have to do something about it.

 

So we keep it to ourselves,

live in fear,

and don't get what we need to,

even when we know it's what's best for us.
