There are times when everything, and I mean everything, seems to be conspiring against you. When everything you’ve worked for, everything you’ve sweat and bled for doesn’t seem to make a lick of difference in the face of the uncaring universe.

No matter how much your heart is breaking and your sinews are screaming and your body isn’t cooperating. You keep moving, no matter how far in the back you are.
And then you win.
Never give up.
