I’m trying to be a better human. I’m struggling as ever with little things, but at least I can acknowledge the struggles.
Joining the dragon boat team is probably the single greatest education in my adult life. I’m not used to functioning as part of a team; I’m not used to asking for help; I’m not used to being accountable for showing up. In the last year, I’m learning how to do these things, and I’m getting better at doing them.
I still have a lot to learn. But one of the things I figured out is that kindness and patience are my super powers. I used to think these things didn’t matter, or they didn’t have value. It turns out that I was wrong.
I couldn’t be happier to be wrong.
