“Heavenly Father,
Please calm my mind and give peace to my heart.
Take away my stress, fear, and worries.
Give me strength for today and hope for tomorrow.
Help me trust You in every situation.
Amen.”
I keep coming back to this question:
Are you willing to sprint when the distance is unknown?
In 2021, Georgia Tech strength coach Lewis Caralla delivered this epic speech to the football team.
If it doesn’t light a fire under you, check your pulse…
He starts with a series of brutal truths:
• Winning isn’t loyal to you
• Winning doesn’t care about you
• Winning doesn’t care how sore you are
• Winning doesn’t care how hard you work
• Winning doesn’t care how much sleep you’ve had
But then comes the line that hit me:
Are you willing to sprint when the distance is unknown?
That mindset is rare.
It demands two things:
1. An unshakable belief in yourself
2. A deep conviction in the mission
If you have one without the other, you won’t last.
You need both.
From what I’ve seen, the greatest things in life are built by people willing to sprint when they can’t see the finish line:
The sprint to support loved ones when they need you most.
The sprint to create something meaningful.
The sprint to serve others and leave a lasting mark.
Your task: Identify those rare pursuits worth sprinting for when the finish line is hidden.
That, to me, is what winning really is.
"And why chase winning? Because the only thing that's guaranteed in life if you don't chase it is losing."
