The biggest tragedy in life
isn’t failing, it’s not trying.
You could succeed
in getting what you want.
You could succeed
in giving your best effort.
You could succeed
in bouncing back
from disappointment.
You could succeed
in not giving up. Ever.
You could succeed in discovering
infinite ways of falling short.
Which is STILL pretty remarkable.
Or you could just sit there
with your “if only.”
A tragedy waiting not to happen.
Newfound Lake,
9/2
