It’s the one who shapes life with hours, who is master of attitude regardless of conditions, who feels entitled to nothing except that which is earned, who knows the pride of effort regardless of outcome, and who, instead of settling for less, asks quietly, “Why not me?”
It is the visionary who is impractical, who is even at times ridiculed, but who thinks independently and listens to the still Inner Voice to avoid the regrets of those who wonder what might have been if only they’d followed the pull of their soul.
It’s the one who lives with purpose and intention; who shows up each day and does the hard task; who seeks satisfaction over pleasure; who strives to make a difference, to make the world a better place, but who, when actions fail to produce impact, will know that failure was never due to partial efforts.
It is finally the one who lies spent, exhausted, certain that there’s nothing more that could have been offered on the altar of life, who meets the end with a clear conscience of having passed the ultimate test of giving one’s best.
