The Spark


Passion fuels a goal.

A goal creates drive.

Drive encourages effort.

Effort perpetuates with determination.

Perpetual effort develops skill.

Skill makes an outlier.

An outlier defies the impossible.

Defiance generates a champion.

A true champion becomes modest.

Modesty leads to repition.

Repeated glory marks a legend.

A legend leaves a legacy.

A legacy sparks a question.

How did you achieve greatness?

Before the legacy was a legend.

Before the legend was a champion.

That champion was modest.

Before the champion was an outlier.

That outlier carried defiance and had skill.

That skill was made constant by effort.

That effort existed because of drive.

That drive focused on a goal.

A goal only made because of passion.

But passion is only the spark.
