We are here, now, in this place, in this time, but only for a moment. Temporary body, temporary home. Yet there is so much effort to control, to gain, to hold on.

Competition. Can we win. Can we win again and one more time after that. Can we shave a tenth of a second off the last accomplishment and add one more trophy to the mantle. Work harder than before, achieve more than before, build it taller than the rest, expand it larger than the next.

You didn't need to win because you already won. Because you are the only one. There has been no other and there will be no other like you. It's not in what you can see, it's not in what you can do, it is inside you. You cannot touch it you cannot define it, you cannot buy it or sell it or replicate it. It simply is and it is more valuable than anything the Earth can offer.

You can rest. It cannot be lost or stolen or removed. You are more valuable than you know. But do you want to try and find out?
