You don’t really have a lot of reasons not to try
Fear is not one
Neither is failure
That one time you got hurt doesn’t count either
To validate your effortlessness is to say you’re incapable of greatness
Which is simply not true
Everything about you says try
Everything about you says you can do it
Like that one time you graduated when you thought you wouldn’t
Or the time you got sick and you recovered
Or what about the way you dusted yourself off after the ones you thought would stay left ?
You did that.
You became stronger
You beat the odds
You defeated that little voice that said you can’t.
And if you did it before, you can do it again
So no, I don’t want to hear the excuses About what happened before
That doesn’t define you
Today you’re amazing
And that’s that.
So try.
Love,
Vicky
