You are going to experience extreme disappointment during the journey on your chosen path. That is ok, you are going to:
Push On
You are going to wake up in the morning anyway and do your 365 Commitment. Despite that you are going to experience failure, sometimes catastrophic failure. That is ok, you are going to:
Push On
You are going to create that list and consider the important things you can do today to start to pick up the pieces. After you accomplish a few of those you will begin to feel that it is not so bad. It is all going to be ok, you are going to:
Push On
You will start to get on the path again. You may have taken several steps backward, and you are going to have to repeat the same part of the journey over again. It will start to feel better, but as you get closer to where you have failed in the past you will begin to experience fear. That emotion will feel very strong, and your instinct will be to run away and get off the path. However, you are not going to do that. You are going to be ok, you are going to:
Push On
You realize that overcoming fear is what success really is. You are going to build a mind callus. You are going to write that list in the morning, you are going to pray, meditate and become focused on overcoming your fear. You will start to feel that fear was irrational, but then the challenges are going to come. A setback, a major obstacle that just seems insurmountable. You are going to be ok, you are going to:
Push On
You will fail again. You will put all your energy, talent, and thought on overcoming that obstacle and you just will not be able to get around it. You will fall down at the feet of that obstacle overwhelmed, perhaps in tears. You will have not accomplished your list today. However, you will review that list, you will determine what went wrong. You will pray and focus that evening again and you will notice that there was a small crack in that obstacle you did not notice before. It is faint and small, but it is a chance. You are going to be ok, you are going to:
Push On
You are going to commit to do better tomorrow, because you are. You are going to wake up the next day and take on the challenges with new vigor. That crack will become a major flaw in that obstacle and pretty soon you will command that obstacle and it will obey, it will split apart and crumble at your feet – you are on the path – you are keeping the 365 Commitment. You are going to be ok, you are going to:
Push On
Friends, tomorrow morning we Ride at Dawn.
