You Will Always Consitently Miss The Mark: Try One More Time

Imperfect. All of us are, and for that reason we will always miss the mark. Does that mean that you stop trying? Sometimes, people reason that this is the best course of action. 

People stop in small ways, and I am just as responsible as the next person for doing this. Especially the last couple of years because things have been excruciatingly hard. We quit because we perceive that we have tried something several times, and we “failed”.

This might not be a decision based on concrete fact. It might be more factual that if we had tried one more time, we would have succeeded. Regardless of the amount of pain we were in about the situation.

Imperfection’s BFF is sin. Sin’s more intricate and more accurate definition is: To consistently miss the mark. It is, in its very nature, discouraging. The thing is, the more you practise getting something right, the more you will complete tasks more successfully at a higher interval. The trick is to endure and with endurance exercise hope and faith.

I don’t know how if you are the kind of person to read your Bible, but I do. The Bible teaches that that is the pattern for success. It is ironic that all these so called “gurus” eco the Bible in different ways but essentially teach the same thing. Whoever you follow to get advice from on social media, find where they teach this pattern, you will find it. It’s endurance (Winners never quit and quitters never win.) hope (Focus on where you are going) and faith (believe in yourself - in my case, I put my faith in my God that He will sustain me and give me strength).

I do nothing without the support and strength of my God. Life is too hard. The point is… for as long as you are imperfect, you will always have to try one more time. That is just a fact.

Remember that I have cried those tears alone in the dark as well. I have fallen, got up and tried one more time - a million times. I became stronger and weaker. I have felt desperately alone with all the support and encouragement in the world around me. 

Through all that, I know this: If I get up and try one more time. I will win.

May time bend to your will, my friend.
