The Snowball Fight: A Lesson in Authenticity
Dear Readers,
On a blustery winter day years ago, my neighborhood friends and I found ourselves embroiled in a spontaneous snowball fight. It was a thrilling time full of laughter and camaraderie, but most importantly, the whole experience imparted upon me an essential life lesson—the significance of authenticity.
A Day Etched in Memory
I vividly remember that bone-chilling Saturday afternoon when for hours we soldiers of snow,
ran rampant through our community park engaged in playful combat. And it was amidst this sea of flying
white fluff where I learned something significant about myself.
Finding My Place…
We all had assumed different roles depending on what skills seemed to shine brightest – Freddie; he was our best
coverage man because nobody could throw as far or as accurately as him. Annie on the other hand knew her way around
perfect makeshift barricades! So, considering how everyone else shone during battle, left me wondering –
“What are my strengths?“.
In Search Of Me!
I tried mimicking others at first hoping to excel somewhere…anywhere!
But unfortunately for me trying to be somebody else wasn’t working at all.
Instead I realized that “If you are yourself then no one can tell you’re doing it wrong!”
It dawned on me rather swiftly- this is true authenticity!
The Turnaround…
To explain what happened next demands some context– Our team always lost every battle previously,
while today finding behind by quite a many points leading again towards defeat didn’t look astonishing..
But who knew just being authentic would turn things around ?
That fateful moment arrived when under looming chaos & confusion,
instead aiming others with precision like Freddie did or creating defensive strategy like Jesse,
OR fill any role up-for-grabs🚁 ,
I decided simply being “me” would suffice.
Discovering Myself proved paramount victory than any other 👣 .
Yes!!, You guessed right guys!! Displaying my brand new hat trick offered us fortunate respite indeed…
Result- We won our maiden championship..,.
Thankfully weather saved us from becoming complacent winners , so WE were lucky comparatively.”
