To be better

To be better.

What is that?

Is it some high off plateau, beyond the reach of mortals?

A mental state of being, accessible through rigorous physical and mental training?

Can it be attained easier than all that?

Maybe it is a series of improvements,

Like updates to a computer operating system.

Maybe it’s like a marathon we have with our past selves-

We run from what we were towards who we want to be.

We will stumble

At times, we will fall,

But the race never ends until we are satisfied.
