wells..it's from 3 years ago, when i was sec one. it was the day i missed the finals for the 400m in Nationals by 0.5s or something like that. e
"Dear God,
We got into the semi-finals for 4x100m, but i didn't get into the finals for 200m or 400m, my individual events. Why didn't i? Are you trying to teach me a lesson? To never be complacent during major competitions?
Or are you doing it for my own good? So that I won't be tired for the rest of the week? So that I won't give up and give me a new motive to beat my opponents? I trained so hard for this day. And my dream is gone. Gone from my mind within a second, compared to the months of terrible training and pain. I'd suffered for this very day, and I didn't get in. Maybe you're trying to make me understand how it feels to fail. It's horrible, so very demoralizing and depressing, to know that all your effort has gone to waste.
Then I thank you, Lord, because I have one more experience in my heart and my soul. I've learnt a new lesson today. So, never look back and come back even stronger than before! Keep being consistent; give your all for everything! And if you fail, then it's a new experience and another lesson learned.
One of my dreams were taken away from me - I won't let another do the same. Keep your faith, never give up! Chase after those who are faster and better than you. Don't aim to be as good as them...aim to BEAT them!"

hahaha i dont know...im not being proud or anything. i just thought it sounded really motivating. if i think it gets awkward being up there on my blog i'll delete this. Anyway, I came up with this quote in the bath before my WALAA race last year. Amazing how my brain can think up stuff as random as this.
"I may not win, but I know I won't lose."
