There is only one finish line

Perseverance, stick-to-it, determination, grit, stubborn...  In some form or fashion, the similarity between those words exists.  If you have a dream, chase it down, draw it close, will it to happen.  I've also heard that this marathon of life we are in is made up of hundreds of thousands of shorter races.  Keep moving forward! 

In the end, and I mean the real finish line, I want to be content that I've run the race(s), made a difference in a life, let the people that I love know it.  When that time comes, I will be waiting for you on the other side.

"If I had to select one quality, one personal characteristic that I regard as being most highly correlated with success, whatever the field, I would pick the trait of persistence. Determination. The will to endure to the end, to get knocked down seventy times and get up off the floor saying. "Here comes number seventy-one!" Richard M. Devos
