Today, I am free. Free of the procession I’ve let overtake me. Progressively eroding my confidence, my ability, my independence; I’ve let it limit my performance, unbalanced. I’ve turned over control to an unseen menace of the mind.
Today, I take back the power of me. This challenge requires my time, but not my life. I decide.
Today, I will no longer be the shadow of this challenge – it shall be the shadow of me.
Today, this unpredictable everyday, is mine. Today, I reclaim all those attributes that make me myself.
Today, as of this moment, the question is not “Can I?” but is “How do I?”
