Did you ever wish you could dunk?

I don't mean in the fake baskets.
I mean really jump that high.
A full regulation jump and a slam.
Not even a 360, just a dunk.
I never did until today.
Didn't even try though.
Now is that a failure?
I mean I know it is out of reach.
My 12" vertical leap just doesn't cut it.
So should I pound my head on the post?
Or should I know my limitations?
Such a strange little question.
I know it is impossible for me.
But maybe a psychologist could convince me.
And then I could be back under this basket.
Hope in my heart, but no reality.
Such is the circumstance of life.
You need BOTH sides of the attitude.
Understand reality, but still dream of better.
And the crazy part is that I think I could do it.
It would take a couple years of dedicated work.
Nothing but working towards the dunk.
Complete focus on only that goal.
Every single day working towards it.
Ahhhh, there is the gold nugget in all this.
Even though it is possible I don't want that.
My dreams are in other places.
They take me in my directions.
I'll follow those ones instead.
Nothing is impossible unless it is not what you want.
Don't follow false dreams that are not your own.
