At Any Rate Contest

“At any rate”, be fast moving and be full of surprises 
Take control of what you have, make no sacrifices 
Stay on top of your game and keep the ball rolling
Have intention, keep direction and know where you’re going
If you become predictable, embrace a change
Don’t risk becoming mediocre or, worse, mundane 
Evolution is essential to keep up with the world around
Attentiveness will speak volumes, don’t mute the sound
I don’t just want you to jump.  I want you to dive
Head first, steady paced, motivation and drive
The world is your red carpet, but only for a while
Don’t postpone it or loan it, but own it and smile
