What’s
inside
counts
Remember those old comic book cards? I’m talking about the ones that charted out all the character’s powers. Well they never stopped being the best way to size up a hero.
I may not be a superhero, but I do dress up as them from time to time. I also strive to constantly learn and improve my skill sets. Teaching myself how to sew was nowhere near as difficult as learning not to trip over my own feet.
I’m a big fan of throwing myself into a project, even if it’s something completely out of my comfort zone. If I do fall down along the way, I’ll always get up a bit wiser from it. I just haven’t been able to apply that same logic to my legs yet.
