When the 1998 competition concluded, Kwan tearfully accepted the silver medal. She had been the favorite to win the gold. She knew this might have been her only shot at gold. Yet in spite of her disappointment, she maintained a grace and dignity in defeat that nearly overshadowed Lipinski's victory. I tried my best.
Life goes on.
You move on and don't look back. Unlike athletic competition, God does not require us to finish first in all our pursuits. He only requires that we do our best. When we do our best, but still fall short of the goal, we must go on. To dwell in the past is to forfeit the future.
