“Sometimes you climb out of bed in the morning and you think, I’m not going to make it, but you laugh inside — remembering all the times you’ve felt that way.” – Charles Bukowski

This challenge, this impossible task, this painful endeavour that lies before us – we’ve seen this before. These demons are familiar. These emotions – fear, hesitancy, doubt – are a childhood friend.

Yet, here we stand, still alive. Not necessarily well, but alive. We’ve survived the drowning waters, the burning fires, and the fall from heaven. And if anything, this should give us confidence that we can survive this task ahead as well.

This too shall pass.
