Recently my husband told me that one of the sports journalists that he listens to said something that struck him. It struck me too. He said that no matter what anyone says about an athlete, all he really is, are the stats on the back of his card. This makes sense for us too, I think. No matter what happens to us, no matter what our intentions are, we are what we push through and do anyways. You can either make excuses for what you haven't done, what you started and never finished, or what you did poorly, or you can buck up and do your best in spite of the reasons not to. The bottom line is, you are what you choose to do. You either overcome obstacles, or you let them be road blocks. Either way, what you make of your life is your decision.
I don't know about what is going to be on my card, but I do know that what is on it right now is not what I want on it. I want to get to the point where I want to show off my card, and all that I have accomplished.
