When paper proves our success why do we still question our abilities? Is it the vice of comparison or some deeply rooted and long lingering concern that we may fall short? When is enough, enough? Certainly more angst will not increase the quality of our performance. Yet, why do we let it creep in?
Walk forward, boldly and nobly. Your story is unwritten and your path equally as uncharted. Don't be afraid to write and chart; that's all anyone else has ever done. Mediocrity seems like a flood ready to sweep in. Build a dam. Remember, after all its just mediocrity; it's not that hard to keep out.
Accept that paper can never determine destiny. "A", Pass, Acceptable, Excellent ... do these marks really hold meaning at the end of the day? So nod to them. Graciously Accept them. But always push forward. And if you stumble, just get up and try again.
"Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time." -Thomas Edison
