We are convinced one day,
we are dubious the next.
discipline is the gift
and practice of the great.
Thus is the nature of man.

It doesn’t feel great, normal life. Most days, it doesn’t even feel good. Our bad beats though, are temporary. Our biggest failures, are in perceiving poorly. Each inhale is a victory.
