is the girl who struggled to take the first step.

How many falls does a person take before they realize that they can't take anymore?
I have fallen hard several times. I have allowed myself to keep falling over and over again.
What was so hard about getting up and staying up? Lack of strength??? Lack of speed? or was it lack of CONFIDENCE perhaps? Were they just excuses? For what reasons though? Did i enjoy being a failure?
I was strictly avoiding the CHALLENGE.
How am i suppose to know what was i capable of if i avoid trying?
I allowed weakness to take over me and tell me that i was incapable. And i believed it...for all these times, i honestly believed that i couldn't handle the challenge. I fell really deep... to the point where i lost PURPOSE.
This isn't how i want to LIVE my life. What happened to my PRIDE? If i keep allowing myself to fall AGAIN...I may not survive.
Recall: Dr. Klein once said that everyone has their own pace. Some people take longer than others.
And there's no doubt he's wrong about that! I sure took a hell of a long time to finally pull myself together.
It only takes the FIRST STEP. Now i know that I am capable. I don't want to experience the fall ever again.
Keep it up.
