You can't outgrow your fears by
avoiding or running from them
You have to go head-to-head with it,
Just like David did against Goliath
The challenge might look bigger than you
But that doesn't make it insurmountable.

In a sea of enthusiastic voices,
a dominant voice prevailed,
in an effort to command attention,
he inquired:

"Are you...
a frustrated doctor?
a frustrated lawyer?
a frustrated actor?
a frustrated engineer?

are you...
a frustrated nun?
a frustrated linguist?
or, a frustrated biologist?"

i met the eyes of the speaker;

."simply frustrated,"
was my unuttered reply...
