One Day
When did I learn fear?
Was it when I first fell off my bike and scraped my knee? Or was it the first time I was in a pool and couldn’t stay above the water?
When did I learn self-doubt?
Was it when I didn’t make honor roll in elementary school? Or was it when the guy I liked didn’t like me back?
When did I learn negative-thinking?
Was it when thinking positively was too scary? Or was it when I thought this way of thinking would produce the opposite results?
When did I learn procrastination?
Was it when I preferred to stay in my head instead of taking action? Or was it when I realized I could still get things done even if the quality was poor?
The truth is I don’t know. I don’t know when I learned any of these habits. But thankfully, I haven’t learned how to give up and I hope I never will.
Maybe one day, these bad habits will be unlearned just as they were learned.
