Figure it out for yourself, my lad,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve all that the greatest of men have had,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two arms, two hands, two legs, two eyes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And a brain to use if you would be wise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this equipment they all began,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So start for the top and say, \u201cI can.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look them over, the wise and great<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They take their food from a common plate,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And similar knives and forks they use,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With similar laces they tie their shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world considers them brave and smart,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But you\u2019ve all they had when they made their start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can triumph and come to skill,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can be great if you only will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re well equipped for what fight you choose,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have legs and arms and a brain to use,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the man who has risen great deeds to do<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Began his life with no more than you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are the handicap you must face,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are the one who must choose your place,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You must say where you want to go,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much you will study the truth to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God has equipped you for life, but He<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lets you decide what you want to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Courage must come from the soul within,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The man must furnish the will to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So figure it out for yourself, my lad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You were born with all that the great have had,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With your equipment they all began,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get hold of yourself and say: \u201cI can.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t know about you, but I needed the reminder today that I CAN! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When things get overwhelming we just have to remember that we were literally born to handle this!!! SO JUST ‘COWBOY UP’ AND DO IT!!!!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay….I feel better now…I’ve got this… \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
