Abstract: Can I?
There’s a difference between believing something can be done and believing I can do it.
I watched Michael Jordan dominate the NBA,
and marvel as Elon Musk rolls out fancy electric cars.
Likewise, Bill Johnson and Brene Brown touch our hearts with inspired words,
and call us into greater being.
As for me, the question remains:
Can I do it?
In my brain, I know I can, as in I am mentally and physically capable of a great many tasks and journeys,
but…(is there a more loathsome word?)
But, do I believe I will?
Will I push past feeling like an imposter,
being immature and old,
ashamed and ill prepared?
I must,
and in the process grow beyond what I am,
to the final version of me.
