Success and Failure: A Graph

I drew this on a pink post-it at work during a conversation I was having with one of my friends the awhile ago on gchat.  I think this post is in honor of the olympic trials marathon, or something like that.  Not that I run anywhere near that fast.  But some people I know do, and some people I don't know, but know of, do too.

friend:  yeah i meant to ask, what does THAT LINE represent?

me: idk

friend: the line where we....do what?

me: i think its when we forget we are afriad

afraid

or that limits exist

so we are at our limit, right

and then, forget about them, and choose to add more energy

now it gets scary

that is when you break tendons

or have near death experiences

or win races you never thought you could

but even the things you think are really really unbelievably awesome have a huge price

you might not see it yet

but that is why the line goes both ways

and even really bad things have a really good benefit, i think, even if you don't know it

 

Just another day at work.
