Success is an attitude.

What makes a day successful?

Can it be unsuccessful in the eyes of others and still bring one great joy. And can it be successful to others, but feel hollow. Certainly. Define it as making progress towards ones higher priorities, the big ones. Even if incrementally. It might take time. A lot of time. Achieving big things often does.

To fail inspite of having tried really hard is sometimes essential.

Okay, so it's mostly essential. For someday when success sweetens the toil, it'll be because of the hardship that was overcome along the way. When knowing that though giving up is easy, it is also never really an option; when we, without regret undertake long hours of work to do what must be done, and would do it again. And again. Even though the oasis turns out to be another mirage, to taste the waters of success someday, one must undertake those long roads, impassable gorges, hobbling, stumbling, and yes keep hope burning within. While toil is necessary is not sufficient to guarantee success in the eyes of the world. But definitely in ones' own.

To enjoy the game when no side is favored over the other

... to be dazzled by an exquisitely taken shot, to applaud the excellence of the players on both sides as they reach inside themselves to shine on the floor, to acknowledge greatness on the court, without regard to the jersey they wear - is also to catch a glimpse of the game's true beauty. Enjoy the game, cheer good plays on both sides. Cheer others' successes and efforts.

To have it all, one needn't have it all

One more hill to scale. One more project to complete. One more big raise to work for. One more work commitment to make. While the seasons change, the blooming flowers give rise to fall splendor unseen. We choose to trade in the joys of things that we trust will be around later, for the satisfaction of things done well now. The balance is hard to find and to keep. Find the balance. Find yourself.
