There are no other words I can add. This is just… incredible. Sometimes, the things you need to hear come from the most unexpected corners of your life.
Samoa Joe is one of my favorite professional wrestlers today. Self-made. From the independents to ROH to now TNA. He doesn’t fit the mold and quite frankly – I don’t think he cares. And I love that. I’m going to try and not go off on a long wrestling-related diatribe about how he’s being used now. But this tweet from Joe came across my twitter timeline and … damn.
Its not exactly a state secret that I’ve been struggling lately. Fitting my expectations of myself and others into the real world has been taking its toll. Wearing me down. 15 years of busting my ass and not getting anywhere because of my… well, let’s just say professionally – I’m not going to win a popularity contest. Now I struggle with the realization that success, promotions and rewards aren’t based on talent. Or work ethic.
But it doesn’t mean that I’ve given up. Thanks Joe.
