No Reserves, No Retreat, No Regrets.
NO RESERVES
When you have another ounce to give, you still have reserves. When you have not left it all on the field, you have reserves. There are no reserves for those who win. There is their all. That is what winning requires. It is that extra inch when all others inched away. It is that extra mile that others said wasn't worth it. When you go the extra mile, they will be standing behind you. Sure they'll be laughing and taunting. You won't hear them. You are still going. You are winning.
NO RETREAT
You are running headlong into the rage of the storm. You are facing every fear and every heartache that life can leave at your feet. Every obstacle is crashing at your feet. You stumble. You think about comfort. You want something easier. If only you hadn't made this choice. You ponder for a second what could be behind you. That life was not so bad. The promised land can wait. Your retreat is imminent. Then your spirit rises. Your magnanimitas fires again. It won't happen today. You are not retreating. You are winning. You are going to win. You are the champion.
NO REGRETS
Rage, rage against that dying light. There are no regrets when you leave no reserves. There are no regrets when you never give up. There are no regrets when you never retreat. There are only regrets when you turn from the present. When you turn from your fear you enable it. When you turn from your fear regret begins to creep in. It will take hold inch by inch and strangle your dreams like a venom. Your dreams will die. In their place will bloom regret. It was your choice to plant the seed. It was your choice to turn away. It is your choice this day. It is your choice right now.
