0 Self-Doubt Exit Left

Three!  In one day?  He shook his head at the thought.  His grip on the steering wheel tightened as he let the truth of his overactive imagination.  He gritted his teeth, as he pushed the negative thoughts aside.  Yes!  Three in one day!  He nodded in agreement with his statement.  I'm worth that.  If not more.  His gripped loosened; his teeth unclenched.  A sigh escaped his lips as the road before him came back into focus.  Somewhere deep within him he could feel the small spark of change begin.  His new years resolution to keep himself open to the possibilities that his self-deprecating self continually pounded into pulp was not going to be easy.  The moment he had made the pledge to himself to be less hard on himself and try to push past his fear and apprehensions about himself, he knew it would be a bumpy road.  But he needed to stop looking at the potholes in the road and focus on the other vehicles, the slew of exit and entrance ramps, the scenery that surrounded him, and possibilities that lay ahead.  Today he took his eyes off the road and looked at the signs and three was just the beginning.
