опять is the Russian spelling for “again.”
There are many people pursuing health and fitness goals who falter along the way. They settle for good enough, which is “gut genug” in German. They don’t know how to start again, if ever they hit a wall.
For whatever reason, I think of “again” as the scene in a Chinese martial arts movie. The bald monk is telling me to punch the board before me. He says, 再.
Tomorrow, as many times as I have done lately, I will begin again. “Ancora” in Italian. I will approach this from the body, the mind, the spirit, and the heart. I will enforce discipline. I will use my creativity and my passion. I will find a path.
One side of the coin is that I am weak. The other side is that I am human. Either way, I’m richer for having the coin than not.
다시 (Korean).
Apologies to those who have browsers that can’t translate the foreign text.
