How do you truly define success? Is it winning city championships? Or simply trying you're very best? Is it defined by the scoreboard, you're record or victories? To be honest winning really doesn't mean nothing to me. People tend to always get winning and success mixed up, and if someone fails people assume they just didn't work hard enough. To me, winning is nothing more than an illusion; the true winner is one who fails over and over and still keeps their feet moving. It's not about your win percentage or your season record; it's about how this season has transformed you and made you better. Not only on the field but as an overall person; how you overcame all those hard times when you were painfully hurting. Perseverance truly defines the winners in life, and those who are truly successful did not only fail once, but more than twice. They had the courage to rise from the ashes and dust off their clothes; They were determined to keep their feet moving even after people stepped on their toes. Winning is nothing more than just a title, and championships are just another false idol. Winning is learning about yourself, your determination; How long one can fail and still say they have a dream they're chasing. Stay strong. Stand tall. Success comes to those who rise again even after they fall.
