This is the Real Story

Celebration may go to the winner, but it will soon be forgotten. The winner is never granted the GIFT. The GIFT? Of getting ‘Offa That Ground’- THAT’S when the human quest commences. When all the cronies disappear, and you are all alone with your thoughts. Only then, can we learn how to [Overcome and Let Go]. THAT’S when the real battle begins. THAT’S when the Fallen Warrior really learns humility. Muhammad Ali said that the young undefeated George Foreman was weak- because HE NEVER LOST. Just ask the Convalescent- for they have redefined their identities. Just ask the Reformed who have exorcised their demons and redeemed their souls- for they are the strongest among us. No one can steal their Cool. Only they have learned the secret of transforming defeat into determination and pain into Personal-Power. May ‘The Fallen’ be honored, for they are granted the ‘Opportunity to Transcend’!  MAY YOU RISE……
