Holding the line is when we maintain the existing position or state of affairs. It refers to former military tactics, in which a line of troops was supposed to prevent an enemy breakthrough. 

This line is at the edge of where we have been.

It’s the line where our dreams come to die. Because we can’t hold it. And we retreat back.

This is the point of self-sabotage.

It is the point we quit.

It's the point where we say it's too hard, and I give up.

We tell ourselves it is not our time.

Staying the course is to pursue a difficult task to the end.
 
But if we can hold that line. And make a plan to push over that. If we can cross over. If we can say that’s not the way this ends this time.

If we can take the leap, as my teacher says, and if we can simply jump.

Then that’s where the magic happens.

Because that’s where we go where we haven’t been before.

Have a listen to this episode of the podcast, where I recently did just that.
