I know I'm not.
And that's just fine with me because that keeps me with somebody to keep on chasing.
So to any of us, whatever those things are, whatever it is we look up to, whatever it is we look forward to, and whoever it is we're chasing, to that I say, amen.
To that I say, all right, all right, all right.
And to that I say, just keep living, huh?
Thank you.
Nobody has ever choked.
I have.
You know I'm talking about fumbling at the goal line Suck your foot in your mouth once you got to the microphone had a brain freeze on the exam that you were totally prepared for Forgot the punchline to a joke in front of 4,000 graduating students at the University of Houston commencement Or maybe you've had that feeling of oh my god life just cannot get any better than this moment And ask yourself do I deserve this?
Now what happens when we get that feeling?
Tense up.
We have this sort of outer body experience where we are literally seeing ourself in the third person.
And we realize that the moment just got bigger than us.
You ever felt that way?
I have.
And it's because we have created a fictitious ceiling, a roof to our expectations of ourselves.
A limit where we think it's all too good to be true.
But it's not.
And it's not our right to say or believe it is.
We shouldn't create these restrictions on ourselves.
