Potential doesn’t mean a thing,

You’ve gotta do it, live it, be it.

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

And that’s just 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.

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 at the end of your life

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

Is time.
