You Suck!!!

The price to be great is a price that most people won’t pay. Most people will remain in the over populated arena of average in an effort to not be embarrassed for being really bad at something.

The voices of the unknown carry more weight than the encouragement of the voices of those who love you. I used to believe that it was unwise to play a game that you knew you couldn’t win.

I now understand that winning is a process, not a one time occurrence.

I also understand that winning is defined by the people playing the game. If I am attempting to gain more courage in pursuing something outside my comfort zone, winning or losing is irrelevant; it’s about the first step.

Winning or losing is a binary perspective put forth by myopic minds. I used to think that there was nothing more important than winning but I now understand that I get to define the rules of the game.

So yeah, according to you, when I first begin something, I really suck at it.

But when I understand that it’s through the journey that I am refined, I divorce myself from the immediate outcome of winning and losing.

I then become free to be great regardless of the noise around me telling me how much I suck.
