A heroes journey

So how does one overcome oneself? I think that we all will (in some way or form) must deal with overcoming themselves because we all have so many imperfect aspects that we want to change. I think this is interesting that we initially want to say we “Can’t” do something because we are afraid of somehow hurting some form of ourselves in the process. To combat this I have two things Id like to share as well as implement in my future business endeavors is to be positive and have a plan. Positivity can be difficult for me at times and having read “Can’t” (by Guest) I felt empowered with the confidence that I couldn’t ever fail. It was as if some witch doctor gave me a potion that gave me a surety that I could do anything.

“Can’t is the word that is foe to ambition,

An enemy ambushed to shatter your will;

 Its prey is forever the man with a mission

And bows but to courage and patience and skill.

Hate it, with hatred that’s deep and undying,

For once it is welcomed ‘twill break any man;

Whatever the goal you are seeking, keep trying

And answer this demon by saying: “I can.””

I like the text that I provide from the poem especially the line about hate and how it is welcomed because it is only going to make things worse rather than improve your situation. This led me to reconsider many things especially how am I fighting my demons? Or more importantly “am I destroying my demons or making it easier for them to destroy me?”. Also in the text above it talks about how it bows but isn’t beaten by courage, patience and skill.  This leads me to having a well formulated plan on how to achieve your goals.
