John….in the privacy of your own 4 walls you can use whatever accent you want! Just don’t do it on a bus or anything….that might be a bit worrying…

You did. You went there. You quoted Tom Hanks. I think that counts as “Stepping up”. I will step up as well. “All my life I’ve been waiting for someone and when I find her, she’s… she’s a fish.” You can say that again Mr. Hanks Thank you Elle for having my back. kettle,

Am I really going to be so nerdly as to quote Tom Hanks? ‘if it were easy, everyone would do it. It’s the hard that makes it great.’ And every time you have the courage to face (and re-face) the hard, it gives those of us who identify but have yet to step up a little hope for ourselves — not that I’m talking about anyone in particular

We got your virtual back, kettle!

Is it wrong that as I read your comment I am using a Scottish accent? I mean, nobody else is here or anything… I think it just sounds better Thank you for the comment Kristen. It was certainly a “Lightbulb Moment”!

Thank you Elle, I’m trying. Everything in me pulls me back towards habits I am trying to get away from. However, this time I seem to be making better progress Hopefully I can keep it going!

Thank you so much Ryan! I try to be honest all the time, even with myself. It’s hard to stay sober when you tell yourself the hard truth lol!

Awesome article…I relate to every damn word you wrote! It doesn’t matter how many years we have trained for or how much experience we have, once we have that “lightbulb moment”, we evolve once again. We become the very thing we have been trying so hard to be, except now we don’t have to try anymore.
We train harder, more intensely and with more focus…not because we are trying to impress anyone specific, but because we can and because we want the best from ourselves.

John–Garcia Lorca calls what you are engaged in “the fight all artists must carry on, the fight for what is unforeseen, the treasure hunt in the sea of thought for inviolate emotion.” The treasure may not always be a beautiful one, but it’s always a truthful one. I agree with Ryan, taking action is unique and incredible. You rock indeed!

GREAT post! The fact that you realized what the heck was going, then took action is incredible. Especially when most people would say, Yeah, I need to make a change,… and then do nothing about it.

You rock.
