The Self

To endeavour to seek. To endeavour to find.
The clarity of skill. The clarity of mind.

To sacrifice living, to sacrifice time.
To develop true balance between body and mind.
To hone the skills the very few can find.

Compete to push harder and faster for new lines.
Not just to compete with the world but with the self deep inside.

To believe in and find the might of your soul.
To find the grit of your warrior without bullet on bone.
To compete against the best humanity has to show.
To be the best the world has ever known.
