For me to make change…It’s going to require me to do the new…It’s going to require me to do the different…It’s going to require me to do the bold…And I recognize the fact…That as I do this work…And as I take these actions…Not only is it possible…That things are not going to work out…But other people will see me fail…Other people are going to see me struggle…And other people are going to judge that failure…When I do what I normally do…And do the predictable…And do the known…Very little can go wrong…And no one will notice me…Because my head will be down…And I will casually move through my day…But when I try things that are new…When I do things that are different and unexpected…Other people will notice…And when other people notice…Other people will judge…And I recognize the fact…That I want to move forward…That I need to try these new things…And me moving forward…Me transforming…Me being more successful…Is much more important…Than simply going alone…Than simply doing the same…It’s more important than other people noticing…If people notice my failure…And want to judge my failure…They can do that…That’s their prerogative…But anything at which I fail…Is a temporary thing that I have failed at…Anything that doesn’t work out…Is momentarily not working out…I know that as I move forward…Not everything is going to be perfect…Not everything will go as planned…And others might judge that…But what is most important…Is my goals…And what my goals mean to me…Others can judge…Others can waste time and energy…I’m going to concentrate on moving forward…And all that is going to come from my ultimate success.
