"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt

Round two

Identity. Something no one can define except yourself. not through other peoples opinions of you, not through organizations, only through Christ can you find who you were truly to your core made to be. In other words stop searching for yourself when you have access to the answer. It is beyond selfish to say 'but no one understands me' stop. there are people in all of our life to whom our true souls can be bared to. So do it. Relationships are the only thing that when you leave this earth you will be able to bring with you. So forge them now, grow in fellowship, grow in memories, make mistakes together, hold each other accountable. Fill up the cups of friendship and let them overflow so they splash down for others to see and to thirst for then offer others a sip of friendship and direct them to Christ. Nothing is of our own will or power, through Christ only are we defined. I am blessed beyond what I take the time to be thankful for and this entry is a reminder to take the time to be thankful.
