And sometimes that white horse they ride isn't anything greater than an ASS!
We all fall - fail. The greatest among us find themselves in places where they just can't stay upright in the saddle and they fall into the mud. But I'm really talking about me.
I know who I am. I know very well my short-comings and weak areas. I struggle still with the balance that I've had etched into the skin of my arm. That marking remains even when I fall on my face.
I'm not trying to dwell. Just admit that my heart isn't always in tune with my head - or at least my heart. My words come out sometimes and they sting. They burn and char. And in those moments I find the 'champion' that I want to be is nothing more than a scared child who still doesn't have a full understanding on how to do life.
So if the greatest of us have failed, what makes me any better?
Luke Skywalker
Ted (from How I Met Your Mother)
Doctor Who
Yes, they're fictional characters, but what about the REAL heores...
Abraham Lincoln
Mandela
St. Paul
I know I fell off the horse. I felt the trembling and shakes that come from that realization. I looked deep inside my heart and apologized.
I'm not trying to live up to a level that I'm not. Just want to better express myself and no matter what - - -
PICK MYSELF UP OUT OF THE MUD.
Then ride on!
Always!!
