Frustration before Achievement

This week we had a bit of "frustration" in  Heroic HFC. We are still a good team and we can certainly kill those last two bosses.  Our road block isn't skill, dps, healing or tanking. It's not our teamwork or movement that is holding us back.  The thing that is holding us back is our heads. It's tempting to go back to easier content that we can complete without too much trouble. These bosses don't present too much of a challenge and we would certainly benefit from getting more guildies geared with these first bosses. In the next few weeks we can do that. I know it feels like I'm pushing you hard into areas that you feel we aren't ready to attempt.  It is good for our morale to be downing bosses and getting gears on the easier content. Hopefully we can get something from doing these things.  However, I'm asking you to collect your thoughts, rally yourselves, grit your teeth and brace yourselves for success. I know we can kill Heroic Manno, we've done that boss before. I know that we can do Heroic Archie (mythic) and Xhul'horac. We just have to push past this feeling of frustration to get to that feeling of achievement.

In my longish life I have experienced these feelings of frustration and wanted to go back to do things that were easier for me.  I've experienced the sensation that everything is just too much to deal with and felt like throwing in the towel. The reason I haven't is because I know that just when I think there is no reason to continue, no hope left, that I have given it all and I have nothing left to give, I know that if I dig deep and push myself hard that I can bloody well do it.  I can succeed, I can get there. It seems that last little bit of fuel in my emotional tank is the stuff that pushes me over the line. I know that it is the same for everyone. I'm asking you guys to not give up on ourselves, don't give up on me as your leader and push through the frustration and get us those last two bosses.  I know we can do it.

I am going to give you a break and we are going to go ahead with the plan to go through the whole content of the raid from beginning to end. We can go backwards for a while because we need to do that before we can go forward again next week this is the plan. The following week if we haven't already reached and killed Archie we are going to go straight to Manno and Archie until we kill Archie. You've got to do this guys because really deep down you know that you can.

Right, I love you all...Trust me we are capable of this task, straighten up your tiara's and tutu's, tuck your tissues in the top draw, put away your wah, wah faces, tighten up your hob nailed boots and get this shit down my princesses :)
