Imagine you’re running a race.
It’s a long-distance race, one that will test you on many levels. You don’t have to be physically fit to run in (though it will help), but it will test your mental endurance and require you to be sharp of mind and react to changing conditions.
Your competitors share your desire to win. It’s a race with quite the prize at the end…
…Life changing, if you win enough of them.
The start beckons.
Lined up on the start line are your competitors.
Looking along the line, you know you could take this.
But as the gun goes, you stumble.
For some strange reason, your start is sluggish. Your legs won’t move.
Some around you are in the same boat. They can’t seem to get going. There are some though who don’t, and you’ll notice them starting to pull away.
