As you find yourself making excuses for your expected performance in what you are about to do, simply notice this. You would not be making such excuses if you were not in “only human” mode. Yes, there is always the possibility that you will not do as well as you hope due to whatever excuse you are focusing upon. And there is also the possibility that you will do far better than you anticipate. All possibilities are inherent in every moment, and as you make excuses, you are leaning to the precise side you would do best to lean away from. The best option is not to lean at all, but to be fully present in and as the flow and allow for the best possible outcome in every situation.

You are so very loved.
