You did not become “You”
(not one single molecule or atom)
by anything that even
remotely resembles “chance”

When the starting gate opened
half of You*
was off like rocket
with never a backward glance
You ran like a race horse
You ran like a wildfire
You ran
As if Your Absolute Life
was the Prize
And it was
And You WON
YES YOU DID
(Your First Mystical Breakthrough!)
And now
there You sit
looking out
through Your marvelous
miraculous eyes…

Now
all of life
that surrounds You
is marvelous and miraculous too
from the air that You breathe and
the food You digest
(all sustaining the Winner
that was born to be no one but You)
to the future You dream of
as IT draws You on to it
More delightful than You can imagine
If You refuse to give up
You can't help but DO IT!

Now
right now at this moment
You might not
“feel”
like a winner
but it's TRUE
That IS What You Were Born To Be!
So Come On Now!

Get With The Program!
Learn what

“You”
need to know
to help all the other Winners to see
that they too were born
to be the Best that they can
Until we are ALL the Best
The Best
We ever can possibly be!

* i always hope someone will ask the question, "What is the other "half of You" ?
Of course i am referring to that which the human ***** Cell is racing so hard to 'enter'!
Some time ago, while thinking about the sad concept presented by the title of the song "Born To Lose", i decided i'd like to make some kind of effort to refute the sorrowfully incorrect mental position presented by the title of that particular song.  Please understand, not the song itself, but the concept presented by the title.  Humans are not "born to lose" they are born to win; from the very instant of conception; they are designed to be winners!
When 160,000,000-600,000,000 ***** cells line up for the race to become YOU, only ONE of them is the winner.  The Ever-So-Grand Prize is the opportunity to be YOU!!!  Just to give You an idea of how many people would be lined up in a race like that, take the middle number, the "average" number, 380,000,000 times 3 feet (they are all standing shoulder-to-shoulder!) divide that number by the number of feet in a mile.  The line of people would go around the world 8.67 times;  Pretty big crowd of folks, eh?  And GOD DECIDED YOU would be the one to win.  i gotta admit, i like thinking about that.  "BORN TO WIN!"
