Crash and Learn

Source

A friend called today. Her life seems to be crashing. Despite what she sees I know she’s in preparation for her next chapter.

I have been there.

The signs are all around. The hardwork, sacrifice, fear, nonsensical mistakes, ignorance of the process and thirst for greater all collide until your polish is almost perfect. Perfection isn’t the goal. Preparation is.

And when it’s all over, all lost, the reward will appear.

Today this wasn’t the message she needed so I cheered and soothed.

But here, I write the story of her success. And I can’t wait until she reads it.
