Re-introduction for the 1st time

I thought I knew you...I was certain we'd met before. Before now, I thought you were who I thought you were. Were you not really there? I feel like this is our first time meeting. You seem so new to me, so true to me. So clear to me in your presence I'm free. Free to be a me I've never been able to be, before. Before when I thought I knew you I never denied. Yet now that I know you're real I won't face you but I can't run from you. You're everywhere I turn, into a dream...is this one? B/c this is the realest I've felt so it couldn't be...naw I met you. I know it was you, maybe this is a different side of you...I never knew you to be so vivid, so encompassing, so undeniably present. If this is you, then who was that? Oh that was an imposter...well I digress. If only...I'd give in to you, admit to you that I know you're who you say you are...but how I can be sure? Sure that this time it's you...I can't be sure? Surely that wasn't you then, so this must be you now. Otherwise I wouldn't be so in denial.

Possibilities...

Greatness.
The possibility of.
Fear.
Ever-present.
Change.
Is necessary.
Risks.
Are a given.
Success.
A matter of the mind.
Failure.
A matter of the mind.

It's a matter of choice whether fear overtakes the mind that changes because it's easier than being committed. Committed to the possibility of greatness. Greatness in being open to the possibility of failure. Failure goes without saying when it's a matter of the mind that chooses to not risk comfort for even the possibility of success. Success being indicative of growth-an intangible and personal change. Change the way mind sees risk. Risking the possibility of a moment of greatness for a lifetime of doubt, rooted in fear. Fear that what is real is a matter of the mind. Minding the heart is matter of honesty, a matter of courage, a matter of possibilities...
