Default Too Much...I'm Licked...Only I...

I was talking with someone today. That conversation made me think of the meaning of this quote...found at the bottom of my posts...the meaning to me that is.
Lots of people limit their possibilities by giving up easily...Never tell yourself this is too much for me. It's no use. I can't go on...If you do you're licked, and by your own thinking too. Keep believing and keep on keeping on.

-- Peale, Norman Vincent
If I think it, it will be.

Only I can change what I think and preceive about my life.
Only I can choose whether "it is too much for me".
Only I can think I am "licked".

Only I can keep on, keeping on.

Or I can choose to quit,
can think it is too much,
consider myself "licked",
sit down in my chair and
never rise up again.

My "chair" can represent many life issues...giving up on PD, giving up on life...giving up in any way conceivable.
