A DREAM AS LONG AS A JOURNEY

​

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.

A JOURNEY MADE OF THOUSAND MILES START WITH A SINGLE STEP.

DON'T BE IN A RUSH TO ARRIVE.

RUNNING IS NOT SOMETHING FOR THE FASTEST.

RUNNING IS FOR THOSE THAT KEEP ON RUNNING.

SET A GOAL, TRY HARD, BITE THE BULLET, SHOW WHAT YOU ARE MADE OF.

START BELIEVING IN YOURSELF. ONLY IF YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN DO IT, YOU'LL SUCCEED!

DON'T LET ANYONE TELL YOU WHAT YOU CAN OR CAN'T DO.

IF YOU REALLY WANT IT, THEN YOU CAN FACE ALL CHALLENGES.

IT IS YOUR DESTINY!

YOU NEVER FAIL AS LONG AS YOU KEEP ON TRYING.

DREAMS CAN BE CRUEL!

THEY WILL BRING YOU TO HELL, BUT IS IS FROM THERE, RIGHT THERE, THAT YOU WILL START TO CLIMB ITS WALLS, STEP BY STEP.

RIGHT IN THAT MOMENT YOU START FIGHTING FOR THAT STEP THAT COST YOU AND TO THOSE NEAR YOU SACRIFICES. ONLY FOR THAT STEP.

RIGHT IN THAT MOMENT YOU START DEFEND YOURSELF WITH NAILS AND TEETH. ONLY FOR THAT STEP.

BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT WHEN YOU ARE GOING TO SUM UP ALL THOSE STEPS, THE TOTEL WILL MAKE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VICTORY AND DEFEAT. 

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIVING AND DYING.

IN EVERY RACE THOSE WHO ARE WILLING TO DIE , WILL EARN THAT STEP.

LIFE IS A MATTER OF MOMENTS, SO IS RUNNING.

IN BOTH CASES THE MARGIN OF ERROR IS THIN.

A NEGATIVE THOUGHT, A MOMENT OF DISCOURAGMENT, AN UPHILL THAT LOOKS LIKE A MOUNTAIN AND YOU ARE OUT OF THE RACE.

BUT IN EVERY MOMENT LEFT IN YOU, LIES THE STRENGHT TO FIGHT FOR THOSE STEPS IN FRONT OF YOU, FOR THAT GOAL THAT YOU HAVE DREAMT ABOUT DURING THE SOLITUDE OF YOUR TRAININGS, WET BY THE RAIN IN THE COLD WINTER DARKNESS THAT HAS BROUGHT YOU RIGHT THERE IN THAT MOMENT. 

IT'S TIME TO TEST YOURSELF. TEST YOUR WILLPOWER, YOUR RESISTANCE. IT'S TIME TO TEST YOUR HEART, YOUR LIMITS. NO EXCUSES. NON EXCUSES WHEN PAIN WILL SET IN AND BELIEVE ME, YOU WILL FEEL THE PAIN AND THE ONLY THING YOU WANT TO DO IS TO GIVE UP, TO SURRENDER. RIGHT THEN, WHEN YOU THINK YOU HAVE GIVEN YOUR ALL, YOU ARE GOING TO DO A LAST EFFORT, ANOTHER STEP. UNTIL YOU REACH YOUR GOAL.

YOU MUST GO BEYOND AND GIVE EVERYTHING. IF YOU LOOSE, AT LEAST YOU HAVE TRIED. "I FAILED" IS TEN TIMES BETTER THAN "AND IF I...". THIS IS WHAT COURAGE IS CALLED.

YOU MUST BELIEVE IN IT, LONG BEFORE YOU START.

I CHOOSE TO RAISE, NOT TO FALL! I CHOOSE TO LIVE, NOT TO DIE! TODAY IS THE DAY! NOT TOMORROW, NOT THE NEXT TIME, BUT NOW! IT IS THIS BELIEF THAT WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING! I WILL NEVER GO HOME, UNLESS I HAVE GIVEN ALL MYSELF!

THIS IS YOUR MOMENT!

AND REMEMBER...

DREAMS ARE FED BY SACRIFICES!
