I want to talk about the process of figuring shit out! This is something that I’ve been feeling heavily as of late……. not that I haven’t felt this way many many times before at different junctures but it hits you just as hard every time this 9 headed beast shows its head(s) again.
Being a coordinator is hard. Being a front man is hard. Being a leader (a culmination of both?) is even harder. This is something that can only be directly absorbed and appreciated, I think, by all of you (not that many I know) that have lead a charge and have (1) celebrated in victory in flying colors or (2) felt like you just got mauled by a pack of wolves followed by getting hit by a train. To me, this is a inexplicably important and impactful experience and really does help us grow. Reminds me of many of my favorite athletes and their most memorable quotes…… usually pointing towards how to learn from adversity how to win again from defeat and how to roundhouse kick your fear in the face.
I suppose the curve for “learning the ropes” is something that should continuolsy get easier over time but what if ropes keep getting added on in ways that are unexpected and self-created? A very interesting dilemma and problem to have in my opinion as it is usually an indicator for growth and exploration into new areas.
Just wanted to rant on a topic that is fresh on my mind.
Word to everyone.
EPL starting soon. ARSENAL!!!!
