we have lost everything—

that we’re free

to do anything. . .”

—Chuck Palahniuk

“Celebrate

what you’ve accomplished—

but raise the bar

a little higher

each time you succeed. . .”

is to be measured

not so much by the position

that one has reached in life—

as by the obstacles

which (have been) overcome. . .”
