I've known you only through Steemit and I've always seen you as very skillful, and what I've though, very talented.
But when we know only someone at the point they are now, we are unaware of anything they have gone through in the past. Who knows if I have assumed you've come from a family in which you have been the focus of attention and thus you have been encouraged to do bold things in your life and become skillful and successful.
But we never know.
I see you as a skillful and successful person. But we rarely see the work people are going through to reach the point at they are now. It is easy to see someone from own point of view and never knowing even if the author themselves are happy what they have done.
Yes, it is very easy to see the successes and failures but not what has led to them. Rarely is anyone an overnight success as they must of course build the skills necessary to be able to take the opportunity. Every hockey player wants to play in the NHL but, how many not only have the talent but the obsessive drive it takes to get there? Same for everything really I think. It is easy to say 'Be the change' but there are not many willing to take the extreme approach Ghandi did to actually be it.
From my view though, no matter our early experience or even our situation now, we can all improve upon it.
It's an easy thought for most of us to think "I've done enough, I've tried enough, I've had enough".
As on the earlier photography post, it's the same "I could have done that" but the difference remains - not all of us are prepared to do what is needed.
Just like I'm not doing enough in order to be better.
I am not sure what 'enough' really looks like but for a while I have held the view that we should go to sleep knowing we gave that day all we could. These days, I hardly sleep :D
This is what "Enough" looks like. :D
Went a bit off the topic but I just couldn't resist.
