Is that winning? I question that. It is a gain, it is growth, it is movement forward, but it's no Greycup championship trophy.
I entered the 100 meter sprint. And didn't take home the gold in that particular race.
Now, a year later, I'm closing in on the final leg of a marathon. My feet are blistered and bloody, my shins ache with muscle spasms. But I am lighter, stronger, more consistent than I was when I entered that sprint what feels like a lifetime and yet a blink, ago.
Have I lost? Have I won? It's perception. And perception is a choice.
