Once I believed

All I needed to do

Was entertain and enlighten

And I helped quite a few

But many more smiled

And nodded politely

I made it too fun

And they took it too lightly

They checked off their lists

Of “I know that too”

And soon they forgot

There is hard work to do

Changing our habits

Takes more than just knowing

There’s trying and failing

In the process of growing

Successes are nice

But they tell half the story

Getting to great

Can often be gory

So let’s not pretend

That all is just right

When we often have worries

That wake us up in the night

Weaknesses shared

Are not cause for concern

Truth and transparency

Are how we all learn.
