SWERVE

"What's worth doing even if I fail?"

The year started with a text message from a friend, "We're having auditions at the end of the month, do you want me to pass along your info?"

Today, I received an email welcoming me to the SWERVE family as an instructor! If you don't know what this means... see 2015! I've been chasing this dream of instructing indoor cycling for over a year!

It's a surreal feeling to accomplish a goal, especially one that seemed strangely elusive. To declare a goal to myself or anyone else is a vulnerable thing. What happens if it doesn't work out? How do I deal with failing that goal? What do I consider to be failure? Is it possible to reframe the goal? How much am I willing to risk?

"Often the result of daring greatly isn't a victory march as much as it is a quiet sense of freedom mixed with a little battle fatigue." This quote sums up my current state perfectly. I feel free. Incredibly thrilled and anxious about the next steps... but free!
