Pole Vault

“Alright, so all you need to do

is pick up your pole, just like

I taught you earlier.

Run, stick your pole in the box,

and JUMP!”

I can’t do this,

I can’t do this,

I can’t do this.

“It’s okay, just don’t think about it and go.”

If I don’t think about it,

I’ll miss the box and fall backwards??

Alright, well, here it goes.

1, 2, 3, 4… Nope!

What is wrong with me?

Why can everyone do it but me?

I have to change my mindset.

Now or never.

YOU are more capable than you think you are.

The worst thing that can happen is you fall.

You aren’t even going that high.

It’s no big deal.

Just try it.

I can do this.

1, 2, 3, 4… I did it!!

It’s not that bad!

Sometimes, all you need to do,

is change your “I can’ts” into “I cans”,

and just go for it.
