To The Limit

Potential doesn’t mean a thing,

You’ve gotta do it, live it, be it.

Because almost every baby in a crib has more potential than any of us.

And that’s the truth of the matter.

Real life, the full life, is lived right on the edge

On that precipice

At that point where you push every moment to its limit

But never over the edge.

Anything less would be a tragedy

An opportunity wasted

And a life half lived.
