Restriction

 

What constricts you?

I had no idea where this page was going, but when I stepped back, all I could see was a corset (white buttons, a swagged top). Maybe I've been watching too much historical drama and mystery lately :) But it got me thinking about constriction. 

What hampers your breathing or your movement? What is stopping you from achieving that thing that you want to do? Is there a bottleneck that's slowing you down? And can you do anything about it? Can you loosen the lacings to give yourself more wiggle-room?

Are you constricted by society and the expectations that are put on you? - like the wearing of corsets in the past. Can you break out of that? The ditching of corsets in the past caused shock to start with, but eventually became the norm as women grew into their freedom. Are you prepared to live with the disapproval until you win out?

Let's ditch the metaphorical corsets and live free.

Whatever the terrain

 

Whatever the terrain, keep trusting.

This page put me in mind of cliffs overlooking the sea, with some fences, hills, rocky parts and smooth paths. When climbing a cliff, you can't easily see where you are in relation to the top and bottom. You just have to keep going and trust that you will reach the top. 

When strolling along a smooth path, the going is easy. You can travel a good distance in a short time. The harder climbs, rockier paths, take a little longer, but over the course of a lifetime it evens out, as long as we keep moving forward.
