The Climb Back

Once upon a time learning and understanding the game was more important than the money, the fame, the drugs, and the sex.

Somewhere down that road I loss the thirst for knowledge and slowly but surely loss my edge, “Losers make excuses, Winners make it happen”
I blamed the drugs, girls, and even darn luck for failures of higher achievement.

Now looking back at how I use to be good like Ken Griffey, I feel that those years are loss.
Maybe it was a necessary evil which had to be learned in order for myself to become a better man.

It wasn’t until my adventure through Europe, 7 cities, 5 countries, had I learned the values of life.

It’s not about how much you make or how many cars you got. It’s about knowing that you tried, that you gave everything you could to try to accomplish a dream,

And the fact that you can look back and know that you gave everything and there wasn’t anything you could have given more. Not an inch, not a foot; not even a centimeter more.

One can truly be enlighten because that’s what life is all about.

As a good friend once told me “You Risk Failure to Obtain Success”

You never want to look back in shame,
