Never have ‘delusions of grandeur’...

 Rather, have expectations for BETTER.

Ever go for a walk at 5 o’clock in the morning because you felt like you had all of the backing of generations of your ancestors behind you? Like literally feeling their hands on your shoulders, ready to support you in anything you do? No? Just me?

That’s ok. It’s how my morning started. I put two feet on the ground, took piss, had some food, it was a good day. What was different, except from the obvious?

Today I put two feet on the ground and went farther. Can I do it again tomorrow? I don’t know. Will it have horrendous consequences if I try? Maybe. Should that stop me from even considering it? Nope.

It is unlikely that I will be an Olympic champion. It is unlikely that I will run competitively at any level. However, I will never know unless I at least try to put one foot in front of the other, and at least have the confidence to chase bugs and outrun at least one zombie.
