Yesterday, I read Oh, the Places You'll Go to a little girl named Sara. And I remembered loving that book because it both scared and excited me. Those monsters were real monsters that I might face someday. But reading it as an adult, I realized the monsters were all around me: loneliness, fear, failure, confusion, depression. Those are the monsters Dr. Seuss refered to! And I found myself near tears as I read these encouraging, hopeful words:
"And will you succeed?
Yes! You will, indeed!
(98 and 3 / 4 percent guaranteed.)
KID YOU'LL MOVE MOUNTAINS!"
So on i will go, though the weather be foul. On i will go though my enemies prowl.
