Don’t hang your hat on past triumphs as if the battle is done. Don’t hide behind them as the lazy would, saying “I have no need to fight for good, you see, I’ve already won!” For past defeats, don’t hang your head. You are not the man that lost. He died that day in that clash, and you were born from that ash stronger and wiser for the cost. Do not die full of regret because you wasted every today. Move now, and give yourself no slack. Don’t waste your time looking back. You aren’t going that way.

Dead Ahead
Don’t hang your hat on past triumphs as if the battle is done. Don’t hide behind them as the lazy would, saying “I have no need to fight for good, you see, I’ve already won!” For past defeats, don’t hang your head. You are not the man that lost. He died that day in that clash, and you were born from that ash stronger and wiser for the cost. Do not die full of regret because you wasted every today. Move now, and give yourself no slack. Don’t waste your time looking back. You aren’t going that way.
