~:[CH4 - Day 363]:~ When It's That Close

Sometimes in life, we work so hard and do everything in OUR power to get the win or to be successful, but sometimes we fall just short. It could be no fault of ours like a claw game where the grip of the claw is weak or in this case, where the win happens, but your win gets stuck on the claw. Regardless, you got to stay with the grind and keep at it. There is going to be so much out of your control that you cannot stress over it. In so many moments, I hear so many people or even catch myself saying how it's not "fair" or I "deserved" to win, but when you really look at it, that's how life can be. We cannot expect that just because we work hard, we will always win, but we can always be proud of the hard work, focus and attention that we put into reaching our goals. There are so many things that won't work out, but when we let that stop us from making progress, that's when we truly have "lost." We played a very good game today. Down two players, our defense stepped up again and for most of the game, we held Helix until we had to foul down the stretch. We couldn't hit shots down the stretch and ultimately fell just short. Strangely, we ended up watching Creed after the game at a late night showing. It's was a perfect ending to the story of the day and without spoiling it, ultimately, if you keep working hard and leave your all out there, you have truly won, no matter how the external factors affect your "success."
