About This Quote

The most important thing in life is to run your own race and live with a single minded vision of purpose. To be successful you must know what you want and why you want it. You must be focused on the goal and not the obstacles that stand in your way. It is like a runner who knows where they are running and why they are running. They focus on getting to the finish line, one step at a time.
