Ever have one of those hours? One of those days? Weeks? Months?
You know the ones. Where it seems you are constantly on the downward swoop of the roller coaster...wondering when it's going to come back up. When the husky kid is doing the teeter-totter with you and you are always struggling to get off the ground.
A wise woman (my wife) likes to say a phrase that hits home during times like that.
"You don't suck."
She is a woman of few words, super smart, and incredibly insightful.
To "suck" at something, inherently means you don't have the potential to get better. Suckage seems like a lifetime sentence. No one says "you suck today", or "I'm sucking this hour."
To tell someone or to feel it yourself, that suckage isn't present, is a pardon, baby.
So the next time things look bleak, look for that one bright spot that reaffirms...you don't suck.
Another wise person once said, "to suck or not to suck...that is the question (okay, he may not have said that but you know what I mean)."
So remember...
You don't suck.
Truly.
