The Race to Success The race to success is not sweet, it's nasty as hell, it hurts, it's hard and it's not guaranteed. The race to success is won not in front of a cheering crowd. The race to success does not begin with the waving of a magnificent flag, the beating of a glorious drum or the shot of a powerful gun. The catalyst for the race surges only after you've been slapped around, kicked about and told, "You'll never make it" by enemies and friends alike. The race to success begins when you realize you don't need a running mate; when you realize you should start running not next month, not next week, but today! The race to success begins in the middle of the night when it seems everyone else in the world is asleep; it begins when your peripheral vision is dead; when all voices are silenced but the one within; when risk is as rote as breathing; and when faith encircles you like a stone casket. The race to success is won only when
you realize the turnip does have
blood, the glass ceiling indeed
shatters, and yes, hell will freeze
over this here day!
