I watch TV.
I’ve considered a MILLION times that I should really just shut it off and tune it out, but for some reason (since I was a kid) TV has been a part of my life.
Well - in a recent episode of Project Runway - one of the designers has a difficult time finishing the assignment because the vision of what she wanted to create wasn’t coming together and she felt like she was going to have to compromise the integrity of her work by continuing on. (Ok - this plot actually happens on just about EVERY episode of Project Runway. Again, I DO wonder why I even bother watching.)
Anyway . . . (sigh) in her case, she tells the camera (us): “So I have to start over; get my head in the game; stop talking, and focus.” In the end, she prevails.
Then in a different episode: Michael Kors (one of the judges on the show, for those who don’t watch it), says of a different designer’s work: “ Everyone in life, regardless of what you do, you’re going to have difficult moments. And I think he (speaking of a specific designer) showed us today, he’s gonna work with the difficulties in his life and not let them stop him. If anything, they’re going to propel him!”
Basically, it’s always very inspiring to see someone who is on the brink of giving up or breaking down not only finish, but actually succeed! It feels almost like a choice that they make. When things get tough, pull it together and push through with thoughtfulness.
I guess that’s why I Tivo this particular show every week. (Gossip Girl, however, I have NO excuses.)
