So you think you are the reason for all the success?
That you’re so talented, so gifted—better than the rest?
That the world revolves around you, like there’s never been another.
You’re walking toward your ego's demise—a familiar story, my brother.
They’ll love you while you’re winning—it goes straight to your head.
But the minute you slip up and falter, that ego you built will be dead.
The reality you’ll learn is this: you’re just another guy
Whose moment in glory is just a blink of an eye.
Soon there’ll be another—just like you, just like me.
So enjoy the gift you’ve been given… and don’t take it too personally.

This isn’t just a lesson for the young athlete who lacks humility and perspective—it’s for anyone in life.
The show will go on, with or without you. We are here for just a blip in time.
So enjoy the moments in between, and be a good steward of the gift of living.
Easy Easy,
