When someone we respect doesn’t achieve their goal

We tend to blame the circumstances, not them.

When we are new at something

We tend to blame ourselves, not the circumstances.

It’s why we collect degrees (I’m not judging - I have two)

Why we obsessively gather information

We keep asking the opinions of others

Because we think it will shore us up against one simple insecurity:

We don’t want to fail.

Or, more accurately, we don’t want to feel like a failure.

But that insulation is a fool’s errand

As it would be more powerful to recognize we are never a failure

We are often just trying to plant tomatoes in the snow

Or watering oregano on the darkest day of the year 🌚

When to Quit (for Now) 🛑
📰 Read more at www.JoinDamon.me/

We naturally slow down at this time of year

With the holidays of so many religions

Less time in the office

Along with the shorter days with colder nights

And this can make us uncomfortable.

Really uncomfortable.

Because we are forced to slow down enough

To actually see we’re going in the wrong direction

To see the shine of all the things left in our wake

To not confuse speed for strategy.

And to face our feelings about wanting to quit.

This is way more valuable than we often understand 🤔

Keep Rhythm in Any Season ☃️

As the days get shorter

It’s easy to miss the brightness

Or to want to stop time and somehow rewind.

There are only two real antidotes to missing Summer.

One is to internalize the cadence of the brightness

The habits that came so easy before

Can help shelter you when it isn’t so easy.

The other antidote is to find your internal sun

Not the one that feeds you from the praise of others

Or the spotlight that is as fickle as the Winter winds

It is the one that knows that seasons change

But your purpose does not

And that, and that alone, will keep you warm on any night 🌝

That’s one of my simple pleasures about life:

If you put your ear to the ground, you can hear the patterns

The symmetry and the beauty

The rhythms in the chaos.

We struggle when we try to impose our will

Jumpstarting or resisting a season that is incongruent

Like trying to plant carrots in the middle of a snowstorm.

I wonder

What season would you being drawn to

If you stopped fighting to make it happen

And let the call of the wild go beneath your armor 🏰
