Grace under pressure? I've learned in baseball that it means being mentally tough and having confidence and pride in who you are and what you stand for. Focus on the now, on the task, be positive and assume you will get it done. Nothing more, nothing less.
Me, I can care less what they say. So screw them. They can't create my world. I'm the director of my play and it will be my way and I embrace all the good and bad that will come along. If they don't approve or try to bring me down, then they best stay out of my way, cause aint nothing stopping the train I'm on.
Oh yeah Ginger! Perfectly said! I think my last post serves as empirical confirmation to your post. It's all about will. It's more than just a self thinking thought, it's desperation and determination in action to fulfill something that means a lot to me...a very important perceived need in my world.
True, neither guarantees accomplishment, success, or failure, but the act of trying and going for it does bring peace and meaning to me.
