Your Norwegian Fairytale

The slouch in his shoulders. The grimace on his face. The white see through Captain Underpants uniform with blue accents.

Kristian Blummenfelt

I am talking about the Kristian Blummenfelt, the 2020 Olympic Gold Medalist for the Triathlon. He was heralded for his epic comeback - outracing competitors that looked more confident with long strides and relaxed forms.

You can fall into the trap of trying to make everything you do look easy. This comes at the expense of trying new things. As soon as you feel and/or look incompetent when doing something (a project at work, a business venture, a creative expression), then you will likely give up.

But, sometimes, it doesn't matter how ugly you make it look. It only matters if you do it. Just think of our Norwegian fairytale starring dear Kristian.
