We are limited

not by our weakest moments, 

but by whether 

we let them define us.

  I noticed a basketball player miss a crucial shot in the closing seconds of his team's loss. The next game, he did not have a tremendous game, and I wondered if he let the missed shot affect how he played. Basketball is a game of belief; If you believe you can achieve, you will be more likely to do so. 

  Even so it is with life. We all have moments of failure. We will all do things we are ashamed of. Does this mean we should retreat from life and no longer try to achieve things, letting the weak moments define us? 
   We need not. 
   Just as the basketball player can decide to put the missed shot behind him, so can we decide to put our weak moments behind us, and go on to yet achieve great things.
