EXCERPT
Who are you?
Or who do you think you are?
Do you truly know yourself? Do you, really?
So do you know you are a winner?
Do you realize you have won your first race and then claimed your life as the prize?
They say a leopard can’t change his spots;
thus, born a winner, you ought to live as a winner;
you have to accomplish; you have to achieve.
How can you achieve if you do not take on challenges? You need to dare.
How can you win if you do not start the race? You need to choose your lane,
Though unlike your first race
you do not need to win at the cost of others’ failures.
Competition with others is over
and competition with yourself, with you alone, has begun.
So choose your track, set the prize and run until the finish line.
Because this is how you get to know yourself, this is how you find your limit,
this is how you develop your strengths
And this is how you discover your inner power showing you that you are not just ordinary,
you truly are extraordinary. A truth about yourself?
You were born a winner
You ought to live as a winner
Take on your second race, win it Take on your third race, win it Take on your fourth race, win it
Keep on racing Keep on running Keep on winning
Because a truth
is that there is no finish line, not even the day you die.
