Actually, it’s not because it’s not stating that anyone else can be successful based on someone else’s success.

It’s simply reminding you that you’ve always managed to defy your own internal negative monologue.

If only there was a word that meant: continue to live or exist, especially in spite of danger or hardship.

Survive. Survive is the word I was referencing.

How? It’s assuming you’ll always make it in the future because you made it in the past despite not everyone making it in the past.

The image isn’t referencing anyone but yourself.

It’s telling you that every time you’ve doubted yourself, you were wrong. So stop doubting yourself :) (or maybe, doubt yourself less)

Yes, and it’s extrapolating that because you were always fine in the past, you will always be fine in the future. You won’t.

Well at least now we agree that this is all about the readers internal dialogue :)

I don’t disagree with your last post; all of us will die at some point, so once in your lifetime this post won’t be true.

Overwhelmingly, however, throughout your life, this will be true on many more occasions than the one time when it won’t.

You might not win the competition. You might not get the job. Acceptance of that needs to be part of it.

I mean for non lethal internal monologues they might still be going. And for lethal ones well obviously only the people who didn't fall to despair would be able to read this.
