The Real Story

Big dreams require real life nightmares
Limitless goals must talk to unending failures first
Successful footprints must step in the mud with white shoes 
Greatness breathes because you felt what it was like to choke
Flowers do bloom from the concrete
Mountains can be moved by a mustard seed
If you’ve never starved you won’t know how to eat
p.s. when you lose you are one step closer, not when you win…
