"There is no dishonor in losing the race. There is only dishonor in not racing because you are afraid to lose."

I began this book so not wanting to read it, but as the rules of this adventure would have it, the read was a must. The book was phenomenal. I honestly can say I walked away from this one with an altered perspective. To be frankly honest, life can be shitty. Kiddos, if you are reading this believe mom (or mumzy) when I say it, because it is true. Play the hand you are dealt to the best of your ability and don't make any excuses. And if it is something you believe in or love above all else, don't you ever quit no matter how tough the road gets. Know that life is balanced and what goes around eventually comes around. It is not for us to decide who gets what. Love all with reckless abandon because in the end you may not be the last one standing and those you chose to love will lift you up.
