There is no prize, not physically. To keep your boat afloat there has to be a feeling of self worth. If you can’t at least do that, get out of the river, you are going down. Hard things are gonna be hard things. Some get easier and sometimes you just have to change your point of view. If you are failing at something, that is in the moment. Look back at your failures, they were just opportunities to learn more. You are not always going to get things the first try. We can learn to be okay with that. It’s the make up test that counts.
These times of need, reach out, a life line, a tutor, someone, anyone. Never be afraid to send out an SOS. Sail with someone else, let someone else be captain, or navigator. Fiercely independent can also mean stand alone. For Pete’s sake, delegate! It is so easy to get caught up in our challenges, wanting our success to be our own. Having help across a divide does not take away your success, falling in the crevice and not being able to escape is the end of the journey. There is no failure in trying.
Start where you are today. Feet forward, march, change up the beat. It doesn’t have to be solo or solemn. Add a breakdance move in the middle and a flip at the end. If you are worried about the performance, just smile. Stop judging yourself or thinking about others expectations. Do you, be happy, have fun!
