doodle jump

i recently downloaded this game called "doodle jump" onto my iphone.
At the beginning, i was enjoying it tremendously.
i slowly got familiar with the game, and obviously became better at it.
but now, i seem to have hit the wall.
my scores have become stagnant, and i seem to be hovering around the 20,000 odd mark.
i have tried many times to better my score, but seem to fail everytime.

and i am getting tired of trying.
like with everything in life,
you can try and try and try,
but with each failure,
it just gets more difficult to convince yourself to try again.

you think, maybe this is highest score that i can achieve.
maybe this is the furthest that i can go.
maybe this is the best that i can do.
and then ultimately, (unless you manage to beat that score)
i will internalise, accept and believe that this is the best of my abilities.
but is it really the best of my abilities?

which is what differentiates people.
some are persistent (and they just might end up reaping the benefits, not all the time though)
some give up after a few tries, ( they end up not realising their full potential, or maybe they just accept the fact that you can't be good at everytime, and "at least i tried.")
some don't bother trying.

i reckon you just need to have constant progession in your life to feel like you are indeed moving along.

and i am going back to my game. to try again :)
