Pain nourishes courage. You can't be brave if you've only had wonderful things happen to you.

If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.
-Mother Teresa
The reason so few people are successful is no one has yet found a way for someone to sit down and slide uphill.

I have put four of my high school years into cross country.... every day after school during the fall season i run, and i run hard and far. for four years i've worked on bettering myself and others to make the best for the team. but i'm no good - that's the problem, don't you see? i can't seem to find my legs! today i ran at 19:47, nearly 20 seconds slower then last year. this year i put in summer miles, at least 3 times a week i would go running to better my chances at varsity, and i was confident i could accomplish that.
All year i have failed, i don't know why, i try but nothing happens, and i believe something will, but i'm running out of faith. maybe i did peak... i've put everything into this sport and i can't find my way in it, i'm not good enough to, and that is the most depressing thing of all. i do not what to be cheered on and told "good job" after i run 19:47 ever again, i can't settle for that, i have to be better, i cannot waste all the work i've put into this godforsaken sport. it's hard, seeing four years of hard work flash before you, and realize it's not enough...that it may never be enough
