What it takes...
I have posted many times about the amazing people in the guild and all that we are able to accomplish.
Today, I'd like to shed some light on the flip-side of things. It's not all sunshine & butterflies (or Bees). Getting to where we are at can sometimes mean:
- Helping even when you don't feel like it.
- Working with people outside of your comfort zone.
- Embracing people as family even when they annoy you.
- Being persistent, even if you don't get a response.
- Not getting easily offended.
- Not shooting down larger-than-life egos, but leveraging on it instead.
- Patiently waiting for things to unfold when people choose to NOT take your word for it. And learning together from it rather than turn it into an "I was right & you were wrong" moment.
Things aren't perfect. Being a GM is an actual job. Sometimes, even a chore. There's no glamor in it, at least not for me. You end up feeling exhausted, frustrated, ignored, disrespected, belittled and taken-for-granted at times.
But then, it's because of those moments that these small wins end up meaning so much. These small victories are the pat on the back we all need that we are STILL headed in the right direction.
We march forward, TC!
