It’s really hard to extend kindness to some people. And it being hard means it’s work.
I know I’m better at it today than I was even a few years ago. That’s something I have to keep reminding myself, because my brain likes to constantly remind me of the times I haven’t been kind.
Continuing to try despite frequent failure is, in my opinion, more impressive than if you were just good at it. Perhaps that’s because that’s a more relatable perspective for me — I can’t imagine what it would be like to not struggle like this, so when I find my own morale faltering, it’s people like you who help bolster my resolve. I hope that you will take full credit for that.
We’re trying, and we’re going to keep failing, and then trying again. It’s not a quest we will ever complete, so it’s a good thing that we’re continuing to hone our perseverance.
I try.
I mean, I fail frequently but I’ll take partial credit.
