When We Make The Cut
At Least For Now
In sports it means we have lasted one more round
When a coach decides to pick his players
You still have a chance
In life it can mean a whole different thing
At work I cut myself on a sharp corner
At the wrong place at just the right angle
Ouch that smarts
I don't think it could have been avoided
So happy no stitches
This time it was my knee
A year ago it was my knuckle
For the most part I am pretty careful
Sometimes you just can't help it
Your rushing to get the job done
Not your choice
Lack of help and you are busy trying to do two things at once
In time this cut will heal and fade away
For some people the memory lasts forever
Those who made the team got to play
Those who didn't tried harder
Some people gave up and did something else
Always remembering the feeling of not being good enough
Depending how old they were could of left an impression
That affected what else they do in life
Rejection is a hard emotion to face
Everything from dating to getting hired for a new job
If we have learned to accept it as a learning experience
We can grow and become better
It's all how you look at each situation
With a positive attitude and the confidence to succeed
I think these good qualities can be applied to our future success
When we know we have a lot of different talents
Some noticed and some overlooked for reasons beyond our control
I think we all know we can't have it always our way
So if you are struggling and things don't work out
Take the lessons you have learned and apply them to something else
One day it will all pay off
Bigger and better than it would of been if you didn't have that obstacle long ago
No need for luck
Believe in yourself and keep trying
You create an amazing life
One struggle at a time
