Can it never be "you" when an action comes from the same subject in a sentence? Does it always have to be "yourself", a reflexive pronoun?
mo3-20)When you were a child learning to walk you didn’t think for a minute that, just because you were exceptionally good at crawling, you were destined to crawl for the rest of your life. Even if when learning to walk you fell over more than most of the toddlers in your play group, you didn’t let that put you off for long. Sooner or later you developed the ability to walk just as competently as you could previously crawl. Unfortunately, you are likely to forget what you have gone through. And you just notice things that seem to come easier to you and begin to ignore the stuff in the future that looks a bit harder. Don’t confine you to what you are good at now. You have a lot of potential that you can be good at what you’re not doing well now.
