Tall Poppy Syndrome
My own tall poppy syndrome. I walked out to Owl's Head in early spring which took 18 miles through snow covered trails, crossing 3 raging rivers up to my thighs, up slippery frozen scree slide and winding through maze of deep snow at the top. I felt so empowered, top of the world sensations and that I could achieve very hard things with hard work and determination. I felt confident in my accomplishment when descending the trail… 'boom' I fell on my butt so hard it knocked the wind out of me. Immediately the feeling turned to a very humbling mindset. It was a reminder that no matter what triumphs you have had that we still are fallible and to stay humble.
