Going Slowly, Standing Still

Google "Don't be afraid of going slowly, be afraid of standing still." -Chinese Proverb

Well, I'm afraid I have been going slower and slower to the point that I'm not going at all. Maybe because I have allowed the pressures, demands and expectations of my surroundings to control my traveling... Yes, there's definitely a lot of that. I'm not sure why, but I realize that I have relinquished my power to the people and the circumstances around me. How do I get it back? How do I reclaim my power and use it to live my life the way it should be lived, abundantly... How? That is the question; and I intend to find the answer.
