Was just going thru HHM's tips/guidebook (17 pages, a recommended read), reminded me of the call I had with him, basically same info was said, still inspiring tho.

EDIT: see page 2 for intro post

I've out-searched the web,
but I'm still stuck in the corner
I weaved a mess,
A pattern of trouble,
But I feel like a piece of Dubble Bubble.

It tastes good at first,
A sickening sweet treat,
But it never quenches your thirst,
It leaves u in the dirt,
And brings u to you're feet.

I might be rambling,
Not trying to rhyme,
Because I know there's a reason,
to this madness, that only
leaves you with sadness.

new red lines have been drawn,
I hope for a new dawn,
I plan for the best,
But the best plan is anyone's guess.

I have to try my best!

That's it I must say,
This garbage--I quit!!

The poem shows feeling and emotion (correct me if I'm wrong). Keep it up!

I've outsourced my woes,
But I'm still hamster-wheeling,
Reeling from stress,
From self-induced failed tests,
And I feel like a piece of the ceiling.

High and lofty, arches and a chandelier
Not from CLE but my attitudes' turned cavalier
After a particular storm of emotions,
A leak, a chink in the armor,
And the ceiling caves, the floor--an ocean

Was at half-thousand mark,
But now clouds have formed,
And its barely enough to buy a loaf of bread,
But that poor mans bread I shall cling to,
And name it gye.

Battle lines are marked,
Trenches dug, tanks parked,
Helmets snug, new tactics seeked
Snitch found, March-ing may be easier

Than July, ahead but I must try!

If u missed every allegory, I couldn't resist,
Try anyways and bring some glory, plz desist.

Quidditch a sport? Introducing: sports no commas.

After getting tackled and kicked into a corner with my cards on the table I red the signs and with a 3-1 yellow light choked up checked my swing no check-swing reached first base got caught stealing went back home no run curled up not in bed but en route to a first down because forward progress leads to (field)goals been in the penalty box four too long power play over fifth men on no sixth man mentality if only for a one-timer I'd have more control when the blitz comes and just as a flea flickers sometimes we get sacked but we must not be out for the count instead play as if its a full count bases loaded tie game one strike your out but one pitch from the walk(off) its the bottom of the ninth in Stanley cup LIX and the opponent is at their own goal line, may we all get the safety we need in overcoming this challenge.

Cling to the poor man’s bread, friend. 
hold it on your shoulder. 
Though your trudging steps are weary, 
It shows that your soul is bolder…

And it may yet come to pass,
 that in this  half-measure of
….courage
You will yet find a new pathway…
I wish that for you. 

GYE: 
כל דכפין יתי וייכל 

Here’s a warm hand- 
Because there’s hope to be had here, friend,

Just finished reading a Q&A submitted by "Shnook" in the GYE Members Answers section in the library. He details that a 90-day journey has nothing to do with getting a mystical boon of a corrected neural pathway, anyone who thinks that is a misguided buffoon. What he did posit was that its about a change in mindset, mentality and motivation. If we don't take steps forward, we'll naturally stagnate/plateau or worse c"v, fall back. Don't mean to T4 but I've had (albeit one) year+ streak and then fell. I realized that although I had a changed neural pathway in the sense that my Hergel/habits were definitely changed and radically improved. I still didn't desire the change deep down and didn't reinforce my commitment. I hope to pick up the pieces and far surpass my record iy"h.

Just finished reading the English excerpts in the Library tab for "Today is the first day of the rest of your life". Woah is all I can say, couldn't press the next button fast enough, read it all in one sitting, highly recommended. Alternatively you can reach out to Michelgelner@gmail.com he tells you the same awesome truths.
