I've been patient. I decided early on that I'd get where I needed to go if I just kept going. Some moves were intentional and sometimes I put my body on autopilot just to get through things. I enjoyed the views from the bottom and the views from the apex. And sometimes, I've winced at the views from both.I'm patient like every molecule of water - knowing it will eventually make it to the ocean.

Eventually, you get tired of seeing mediocre talent succeed, so you work as hard as they do.

Everyone doesn't wan't greatness. That's fine. It requires too much. The process embarrasses us, it makes us blame ourselves for so much for so long, it destroys relationships we've maintained just to keep from actually achieving things on our own, it's hard! It's worth it.

It will always sound like bragging to those who are slacking.

Didn't know where I was going. Didn't care where I ended up. I knew I'd be okay though.
