The Adventure Continues

Change the word struggle to the word adventure in your day to day vocabulary.
It will not make the grade any less easy to climb, but it may put a little grass under your feet.

James Kelly

I have been told that I am a dreamer, that I sometimes have an unrealistic view of the world. Is it unrealistic to think that every new day holds a new adventure, good or bad, still something to look forward to? Do I dream that around the next corner is my personal best finish time? This and more.

I have never felt that I would not accomplish what I have set out to do. Everybody would like their dreams and wishes to come true. Usually the easy way. Like just having them fall into your lap. One thing triathlon teaches is that no matter how good you feel in the morning, the afternoon can hold many twists and turns and if not overcome, can lead to a long night. Patience usually wins the day.

I can wait for what I wish and if I refuse to be beaten down and discouraged by the journey, then I guess I do have an unrealistic view. And if that journey takes the rest of my life, that would be a lifetime of anticipation. I think that is optimistic not unrealistic.
