If it is to be it is up to me

Don't compare your beginning to someone else's middle.
Progress not perfection.
Train like a beast to look like a beauty.

This poem by Charles Simic:

Fear
Fear passes from man to man
Unknowing,
As one leaf passes its shudder
To another.
All at once the whole tree is trembling.
And there is no sign of the wind

Fear is one of the things I've struggled with most in my adult life. Not just with exercise and health, but with everything. The quote I've used for years now is Frank Herbert's Litany Against Fear:

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
It is the little death that brings total annihilation.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone, there will be nothing.

Only I will remain.

On my phone's background I have the quote, "I can, and I will." I look at it every time I start getting discouraged in the gym.
