trudge

two steps forward, one step back.

progress is not easy. fighting hard for it and yet keep being disappointed.

nothing much to say. too tired.

filled with thoughts, though fleeting.
full of emotions, yet no words.
hopeful attempts, failure lures.
silient efforts, mindless tolls.

attempt but never to be reached.
in life as in sports.
dare.

it is in the attempt that we find ourselves better.
it is in daring that we find ourselves heores.
it is in loving we find ourselves doing what we thought we wouldn't.

all i am doing now is doing what i love. to reach as far as i can towards the impossible. perfection. in shooting. in coaching. in dealing with people.

if i err, please let me know.
if i fall, please pull me up.
if i fail, remember me fondly.

embrace failure as a step forward. pick myself up and go again.

'sometimes when your hopes have all been shattered
and there's nowhere to turn
you wonder how you keep going
think of all the things that really mattered
and the chances you've earned
the fire in your heart is growing
...
dare - dare to believe you can survive
you hold the future in your hand
dare - dare to keep all of your dreams alive
it's time to take a stand'-Stan Bush
