The End is Near

I have this behavioral tick...I give up when I'm close to the finish. Almost as if I am too afraid to succeed, to push myself in those last few steps because I think failure is inevitable, heartbreak is guaranteed and I don't deserve it anyway.

I can see the end now, and although it is still a long way off, part of me wants to put the breaks on right now. How dare I try to have everything I want? But this is my time. I just have to wait and continue as I am, gradually. It will take an almost superhuman effort not to stop in my tracks and run in the other direction, though.

But it has never been more important to me than now to stay the course.

So long as you are with me along the way, I know I can cross that finish line.
