SOME SAY “I CAN’T”
SOME SAY “I CAN”
Everyone fears the unknown.
How you overcome the pain is how successful you are.
You can quit - they won’t know
YOU WILL KNOW
Everyone waiting for the “moment”
Similar to taking that chance in your life
You wait for the opportunity
You just need to jump!
You will tell yourself to stop. To give up.
That it’s easier to give up.
People around you will make you stronger
Make the transition and don’t look back.
