Fear: Failure
Coming from a background of athletics, Taylor’s hatred of loosing is now transitioning into a strong drive to make it in the competitive world of Washington DC politics. The tattoo on the inside of his arm serves as a constant reminder from an old hero.
“It says “Limits like fear are often just an illusion” it was actually the last line of Michael Jordan's Hall of Fame speech. He was my favorite basketball player growing up. Whenever I'm kinda afraid to do something I say it in my head and try and convince myself, like, it's not real, it's just in your head. I'm from the DC area so I always wanted to get into local politics on some level and make my way up the latter. I've got some friends that work on the hill so I'll try and use those connections to get a job there. To make it here you have to not be afraid to step on people's toes. Not like be a dick about it but still you still kinda have to be bold. A lot of high minded people come here to fail.”
