You’ve Got This!

My first inclination is to doubt,
to question, pretty strong dis
belief, Really? I don’t think so. Is
the problem here that my guiding

principle is generally logic? I
mean, historically, scientifically,
if we were to go that route, my
experience over the past several

years is astoundingly stunted.
Even I know reality is more com
plex than how I’ve just put it. I
can’t quit the power of positive

thinking. I just cannot. So I’m 

torn, as usual. I’ve been through
this too many times to bother even
explaining. I’ll either make it or I

won’t. I know this. But I have to
believe this one thing much more
than I need to know anything, and
armed with that I must find within

me the fire that I know is there, blow
it up to maximum capacity, and with
my all, package that energy into an
unwavering focus, climb like mad to

where I must go. And by all means en

joy the climb—feel the burn, as they 

say—and once I’m there, well, it only
gets better. Because I’ve got this. Right?

This Ain’t a Pep Rally!
