Grit = Passion + perseverance. I got that. Whatever else going on, that keeps giving at least and I'm thankful. I do my best to give back my best effort. Sometimes, I'm beating my head against a brick and feel like I'm getting buried, but really, in actuality I'm growing from a seed that was planted and that brick beating is actually obstacles inescapably bashing and shattering against me.
I shattered through a new one today: my first 7C/V9 flash on a confirmed classic on the TB1. All in all nbd, but I felt I was close for awhile, and it's nice to have validation of that intuition. It's maddening sometimes to feel expectations blurred with gut feelings and discerning which is ego can be tough. I literally failed at everything else in session, but had a glimpse of execution without rehearsal long enough to become "Always Forever" (name of song) ... I thought it paired rather nicely with name of boulder problem "Time after Time."
I have a mixture of big feelings at the moment, but remain in gratitude and mindful of this moment. Although there's some perplexity, there's also perspicacity; if I can flash V9, I can climb harder than that. Time to build a bigger pyramid and start working more 9s and harder. The trickier part is feeling inside like I deserve the goals I set for myself and building the belief
