All good sports teams go through a slump in a season, even the championship winning ones. Why they go through a slump is subject to guesses, analysis, and overblown conclusions BUT the fact of the matter remains that in order for a team to take the next step and become a better team and/or champion, they must face adversity.
And it is from this adversity that the team learns just how much they're made of as it is a test of one's mettle, soul, and their character.
As for me, I am going through a slump which is making me learn and realize what I am made of.
It all started back in August with a 3rd place finish in that championship followed by a September of discontent with at 5th place result. Now fast forward to October's event and we have.....
A 4th place finish....Do I feel down? Yes.
Am I humbled? Most definitely yes.
What am I going to do about it? Race on and keep on until I get to first place again.
Hopefully, that will happen very soon as I will ascend to the next level...that is the best I can do.
Where is the horse and the rider....somewhere out where. |
