The final actions seem to be the hardest to get to after the process. When you get close to the finish line those last few steps are harder than when you began. When the curtain looks like it is about to close the director and all the others lead you to the stage to take your bow. When the reach the finish line and complete the sun it's that breaking the tape that lets you know you have completed the race. All these analogies are what I am feeling as I near the end of this process of completing EMDT program. I want to so many times just say I can't finish, but it is the encouraging words of others that push me (professors messages and videos, friends, family and even a neighbor) saying that you can do it, it can be done.
Today I am feeling all the pressures and today I am feeling that quit, but today I am going work through all those fears and negative self talk because I know that today's struggles will lead to something greater and more accomplished me.
* I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
