If one thing has been really hard for me to learn, it’s patience. My ambition clouds everything I do — I just want to rock n’ roll, and it sometimes feels like I’m making false starts. I feel I’m at a certain point, but just need to have the patience in order to actually get to that certain point. I think I’m going to have a hard time learning this virtue for some years to come, but that’s OK. I’ve identified it as a weakness and I’m dealing with it.
It’s amazing how lucky I’ve been thus far. AND, I really don’t feel like I’ve hit my stride yet with where I am at. Don’t get me wrong, I’m getting there, and I still have so much to learn. However, I’m in such a cool spot, with really smart folks willing to mentor me through spots they have already been and learned from. It’s freakin’ cool.
When I reflect on the last 11 months, I can really get a good picture for how much I’ve figured out and learned. I guess that would equate to "growth". All of my friends are just getting out of University and figuring out what they want to do, and I’ve known since I was 17 or so. I was talking to a friend the other day about how I can actually pinpoint the exact moment I knew what I wanted to do; it’s quite amazing. I just need to have the patience to get there, and maintain focus.
