Churchill downs as motivation...

A good life is not a sprint. There really is no need to rush. Especially not when everything before you consists of stone walls. A good life is an exerting marathon of purpose, passion, patience and perseverance. It's the road where faith and hard work meet. It is an unusual love adventure between success and failure. It is where truth is a belt and integrity a shield. It is knowing your lane, staying on it and running your own race. It's a road loathed and less traveled by most men, who are too greedy, grasping for immortality too soon. Perhaps all we need is patience, being content to wait, and then we can get forever in the end.
