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.

So don’t die wondering, laying down to rest on a bed full of regrets

Because in the end, you may not regret the things you did do, although there may be a few.

But there’s always a way back from those if you really wanted it -

But I can guarantee you this

That you will certainly regret the things you didn’t do

Especially the things you know you could and should have done.

Because at the end of your life

The one thing you won’t be able to wrestle back

Is time.
