I am

[c2q]

Thomas and I must have been drinking the same Kool-Aid this morning. I was just thinking about the fact that how we talk about ourselves matters.

It was a major break through for me when I made a decision to stop trying to quit. To just be quit. Do what the quit do. Be the quit.

Not so much a decision, really, as a new set of clothes. Tried on a quit and took it in to fit me. took the tag off. Had to keep it.

Case in point:  I was well into adulthood when I learned that I was am really amazing at miniature golf. How did I get so good over night? some magic trick? Sort of. I watch until I can see the ball going into the hole before I take the shot. I feel the swing before I take it.

Stop trying. Accept the fact that you can make the shot. Yes, you are that good.

Be in the present. Think in the present tense. Not "I will" or "I was" but I am.
