along this journey to rediscover this lost soul,

I ask you God please grant me the serenity to accept the things i can not change

The courage to change the things I can

and the wisdom to know the difference

[Empire-Builders @EmpiresPod]

"Men are born for games. Nothing else. Every child knows that play is nobler than work. He knows too that the worth or merit of a game is not inherent in the game itself but rather in the value of that which is put at hazard. Games of chance require a wager to have meaning at all. Games of sport involve the skill and strength of the opponents and the humiliation of defeat and the pride of victory are in themselves sufficient stake because they inhere in the worth of the principals and define them. But trial of chance or trial of worth all games aspire to the condition of war for here that which is wagered swallows up game, player, all."

―Blood Meridian: Or the Evening Redness in the West by Cormac McCarthy (1985)

American Giant. One of the best to have ever done it.

Be Theodore Roosevelt

>Born 1858. New York. Wealthy family.

>Sickly child. Severe asthma. Can barely breathe. Weak.

>Father tells you: "You have the mind but not the body. Make your body."

>Build a gym in your house. Lift. Box. Push until your lungs work.

>Will yourself into strength.

>Enter Harvard. Box. Row. Hunt. Study everything.

>Graduate. Enter politics at 23.

>Mother and wife die on the same day. Same house. Valentine's Day 1884.

>Write in your diary: "The light has gone out of my life."

>Flee to the Badlands. Become a cowboy. Cattle rancher in Dakota Territory.

>Hunt grizzlies. Capture outlaws. Live hard. Forge yourself in wilderness.

>Return East. Marry again. Re-enter politics.

>Become Police Commissioner of New York. Walk the streets at night in disguise. Fire corrupt cops.

>Spanish-American War breaks out.

>Assistant Secretary of the Navy. Resign immediately. "I will not stay behind a desk."

>Form the Rough Riders. Volunteer cavalry. Cowboys, miners, Native Americans, Ivy Leaguers.

>Lead them up San Juan Hill. Bullets everywhere. Horse shot. Keep charging on foot.

>Return a war hero.

>Become Governor of New York. Too reformist. Political bosses want you gone.

>"Make him Vice President. That'll shut him up."

>President McKinley gets assassinated. You're 42.

>Youngest President in American history.

>Trust-bust. Break up monopolies. Take on J.P. Morgan and Rockefeller.

>Create National Parks. Preserve wilderness. 230 million acres protected.

>Build the Panama Canal. "I took the Canal Zone and let Congress debate."

>Win Nobel Peace Prize for ending Russo-Japanese War.

>Finish term. Hand presidency to Taft.

>Go on safari in Africa. Kill lions. Collect specimens for museums.

>Return. Taft has betrayed your policies.

>Run again. Third party. Bull Moose.

>Get shot in the chest before a speech in Milwaukee. Bullet lodged in rib.

>Refuse hospital. Speech is 50 pages folded in your pocket. Bullet went through it.

>"Friends, I shall ask you to be as quiet as possible. I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot."

>Speak for 90 minutes. Bleeding. Then go to hospital.

>Lose election. Split the vote. Wilson wins.

>Son Quentin dies in WWI aerial combat. Never recover.

>Die in your sleep 1919. Age 60.

Vice President Marshall: "Death had to take him sleeping, for if Roosevelt had been awake, there would have been a fight."

Leaves behind: The National Parks. The Panama Canal. Trust-busting precedent. The modern presidency. A regiment. A stuffed bear named after him. Proof that the sickly can become titans. The belief that action conquers everything.

@ipraytojesustoo the reality is there is time for all of these things, just not in 1 day. if you somehow manage to fit all of these into 1 day, the next day will be majorly unproductive. All about balance
