As you work towards perfection, you walk towards greatness.

Be your own hero.

If you plan to walk in the footsteps of the great, be prepared to walk with sores on your feet.

A star will shine in the midst of darkness.
A flower will bloom in the midst of dirt.
A camel will flourish in the midst of drought.
A diamond will form in the midst of pressure.
A champion will rise in the midst of hardship.

Believe in yourself.
Carve your own path.
Build your own dreams.
Be your own hero.

True champions, like the sun, cannot be eclipsed for long.
