You’ll remember the fumble. Your teammates will remember the four quarters you gave them.
REFLECTION
WHAT THIS MEANS
One bad moment burns itself in because it came with adrenaline and an audience. Everything steady you did that day gets filed away quietly, since none of it hurt. Your teammates were not tracking your worst ten seconds, they were leaning on the hours you kept showing up for. Their version of you is built out of the whole game and yours is built out of the replay.
Ask somebody who was actually there what they remember. Then write down three things you did well in that same stretch and read them the next time the replay starts.
A QUESTION TO SIT WITH
Which mistake do you replay that your teammates already forgot?
MORE IN PERCEPTION & ATTENTION
- One bad grade shouts louder than a report card full of good ones. Don’t let the loud one run the meeting.
- The song on repeat is teaching you something. Make sure it’s something you’d agree with out loud.
- New friends only know the current version of you. That’s a gift. You don’t have to explain every old update.
