I am a pretty average person. I think it is accurate to say that I have never been great at anything, but average at a lot of things. While I was growing up I participated in quite a few different sports. I enjoyed all of them, was pretty good at some of them, but excelled at none of them. Why? Is there something inside of us that can trigger greatness, or is it a simple matter of being born with the ability to be great?
It seems at least for me, that I have so many things calling for my attention and time that no matter what I cannot devote enough energy to be great so I settle for average.
For as long as I can remember I have struggled with my weight. I have ran, I have p90x'd, I have t25'd, I have weight watchered, but none of them have stuck. So I live my life carrying 30-40 pounds more that I would like. I kind of watch what I eat to counter act my discipline to exercise. People talk about how we should just live ourselves and be happy. Be comfortable in our own skin they say. I'm not comfortable in my own skin. I don't like having "dad bod", but evidently it doesn't bother me enough to flip that switch in my brain yet.
I try to be a great teacher, I am still new at it, so I am learning as I go. To be great requires countless hours of preparation and practice. I will get there...someday. I do love teaching, and I love the daily interaction with my students, so I am hopeful that I will get there one day.
I'm not a very good parent. I love my kids to death. I would do anything for them. However, as they grow older I cam see that I missed the boat in so many places. I see their struggles and failures as a direct reflection on my abilities as a parent.
This was a bit of a downer of a post today, but it is what has been on my mind this morning.
