When Is It Good Enough?

When somebody else who knows nothing about you or your goals tells you it is? Is it enough when you finally achieve that elusive piece of life's puzzle that now makes you complete? Is it enough when you finally give in to the pain of that workout you never thought you would finish but you feel "better" because its over?

Is it enough when everybody knows who are, and that little pointless thought you had, turns into a dream and becomes a reality? Is it enough when all the hardwork, disappointments, and shortcomings are memories you can now laugh about?  Or is it enough when your body quits on you and you are convinced you earned that day off? Maybe its enough when you feel you did more than everyone else. I'm almost sure it has to be enough when you know you did something nobody else has and those close to you try to convince you that you are well prepared for your shot at the impossible....but......you still ask yourself....

Wait!.....here it is....It's enough when you cross that line in Beijing, crowd screaming, you look up and see your name in that top three......and you run over and kiss the tears running down your mothers face. Is it enough then?

The bottom line is... it is never enough. It was not enough last nite running that last 600, it is not enough when my hardwork beats your talent, it is not enough when i think i finally trained hard enough to out run my past, and it will never be because a kid now wants an autograph, but never saw me struggling and crying that dark nite on the track screaming to the skies.........When Is It Good Enough!!!!????

YOU ARE A DAM POET, I SAY.... IT'S ENOUGH WHEN WE OWN THE MOMENT. OWN YOURS.

I can agree with you... no matter how fast i run, or how well a meet/practice goes. I'm already thinking about how the next one will be better, faster, harder. I think it's an addiction... and i hope thats what you were talking about. I like it
