You go for the gold and you end up with less than bronze. What do you do now? Well... you have a choice. You give up on yourself, stop trying, and find a comfortable spot to decompose... or you find victory in the defeat, be proud of yourself for trying, and keep moving forward.
life is full of choices. big. small. some seemingly insignificant. but choices none the less. many of the most important decisions we make hundreds of times a day have a huge impact on our day, but we make these choices with little to no thought. these are the choices as to how we react to situations, words, victories, defeats, conflicts, etc...
this is my proclomation to spend more time considering my reactions. how will i react. how will i let it improve or destroy me. in the moment.
from this supposed hit and a miss... i have learned that i am proud of myself for trying. they always say... you never know unless you try. i never realized how much better it feels to actually try and not succeed, than to not try and never know. i want to know what i am capable of. and so...
i will keep on keeping on.
goodnight
