And upon examination, something interesting was uncovered.

The coin was tails on both sides.

This coin had nothing to do with the gods.

It was about preparing his men for victory in their minds before ever stepping onto a battlefield.

It was about believing in an outcome before pursuing its realization.

This is life.

To believe something's possible is perhaps the greatest weapon one can have in their arsenal.

When you believe something is possible, the question goes from can I to how will I?

The gap is bridged.

The terrain is crossed.

Because time is not exhausted on the likelihood of the outcome, but on its materialization.

I heard someone say years ago that some of the most incredible things in history were accomplished by people too ignorant of the odds to be held back by them.

Dreams are self-fulfilling prophecies.

They require one be crazy enough to willingly navigate the enemy's fire, to step into hostile territory,

Put a stake in the ground and live as though you were meant to be there.

To operate knowing the unknown is where answers live and excuses die.

It's believing that the world doesn't dictate your fate.

It just adds variables to the story.

It puts building blocks at your feet, places a paintbrush in your hand.

You are the only one who chooses whether to stop or go, to quit or continue.
