Are we defined by our actions? Or are we the struggling person inside? Do we live within the heightened ideals that we hold, shaping us into who we should be? Or do we accept what we have, content never to move?
Well, which one do you like better?
Ideals will always be more... ideal than reality seems to allow. Always. But the mistake is not to fail; it is to accept that failure.
You can be the one with potential, the one to make the difficult decisions. And you may not be the one to reach your ideals, but you can always be that one who reached for them.
And that's not so bad.

ReplyDeleteDepends on who's doing the defining, I say.
