When you walk towards achieving your dream but it seems 'Harder and Farther' as you try fulfilling it, and the thought of "Is it even worth it?' starts to kick in... It's a setback and synonymous to having an opaque contact-lens on; you'd be deprived of seeing through...
But please, note this Today;

In the 'Race for Aces', you 'Bleed to Heal.'

In the 'Game of Paces', you 'Offer to Go-Far.'

In the 'Will to Lead', be 'Keen to Read.'

In the 'Roar to Soar', be prepared to 'Oar with Sore.'

In the 'Fight for a Path', be ready to 'Walk, Duck and Nock .'

May it not be of Thorns alone but of Thorns and Glory...
