Re: Are you the \"Lone Nut\" ?
Thanks Jamin. this was one of those 'aha' moments for me. I liked it. It rings true. I'm going to remember this one.
Bob's vids are appropriate for our work too. I know climbers with much more natural talent than me hold themselves back for fear of getting judged. For fear that they won't be awesome the first time they try something. I understand. I am far more afraid of looking like a goof than of heights or saws or something. But it's still a fear, no different from the 'freeze up' we are discussing in another trhead. If you can't get past that, you can't do this job. So I go and do it, fear in hand.
I'm thinking...I can do this...but I'm not gonna be god's gift to arboriculture when I do it the first time, second time, or who knows how many times. But I can do it, properly, safely and in good time. So, I do. And soon, faster than I think, my 'limit' is just a stepping stone and I'm onto bigger things.
This job just rocks that way!
