And then that
scary thought creeps in. What if this is all for nothing?
What if all the time and energy I've been pouring into
this is for nothing? What if this all doesn't matter?
What if none of this even counts? But either way, I've
got to keep working hard at it. Because what other choice do
I have? After all this, what would be the point of giving up
now? If I quit, I'll never know. The one thing that would
pain me the more than knowing I didn't reach my goal,
would be knowing I had given up and having to live with that
question of 'what if?' In the back of my mind for the
rest of my life.
