Empirically, few of us pursue brilliant goals, but these goals are seldom achieved. Usually, we don’t fail at epic pitfalls, but rather at the tiny things we never thought of.
“It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble; it’s the things that you are so sure about, but just ain’t so.” – Mark Twain.
Sometimes we take harmony or things going well as an undetected threat, and we take thorny problems as part of daily life. However, that does not make things any better, as we only identify some of the threats on our path, leaving most of them unknown.
To predict/anticipate the potential growth of a junior colleague or the experience of a senior one, there’s one practical sign: whoever complains more about the environment or circumstance is not competent for the job.
The same rule applies to snowboarders. True pros can ride across any terrain without mentioning it and still have fun. On the other hand, newcomers or those with stagnant skills who have been riding for years always complain about the wind, the ice, and so on.
So, embrace every tiny trouble in your life as a psychological training or a test on your way to achieving something magnificent or as you cruise down the powder. Always choose the challenging way, just like how you choose to go off-piste. It’s about the experience, the view, and the fun.
However, it uneasy to do so. It’s takes blood and sweat to pave the way to the goal. Ironically, one just needs to try very hard to make it look easy. Nothing stays the same all the time, why not fuck around everyday?
This is your life. Make every second legendary.
