"I will act now. I will act now. I will act now..."

"...Henceforth, I will repeat these words each hour, each day, everyday, until the words become as much a habit as my breathing, and the action which follows becomes as instinctive as the blinking of my eyelids. With these words I can condition my mind to perform every action necessary for my success. I will act now. I will repeat these words again and again and again. I will walk where failures fear to walk. I will work when failures seek rest. I will act now for now is all I have. Tomorrow is the day reserved for the labor of the lazy. I am not lazy. Tomorrow is the day when the failure will succeed. I am not a failure. I will act now. Success will not wait. If I delay, success will become wed to another and lost to me forever. This is the time. This is the place. I am the person."

"Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in muscles."

"Run when you can, walk if you have to, crawl if you must. Don't ever give up!"

Here’s the thing that makes life so interesting. The theory of evolution claims only the strong shall survive; maybe so…maybe so…but the theory of competition says just because they're the strong, doesn't mean they can't get their asses kicked.  That's right; see, what every long-shot, come-from-behind underdog will tell you is this:  The other guy may, in fact, be the favorite, the odds maybe stacked against you, fair enough, but what the odds don’t know is this isn't a math test, this is a completely different kind of test, one where PASSION has a funny way of trumping logic.  So, before you step up to the starting line, before the whistle blows and the clock starts ticking, just remember out here the results don’t always add up.  No matter what the stats may say, and the experts may think, and the commentators may have predicted, when the race is on all bets are off.  Don’t be surprised if someone decides to flip the script and take a pass on yelling uncle...and then, suddenly, as the old saying goes, WE GOT OURSELVES A GAME!
