when all about you, are losing theirs and blaming it on you.

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you.

But make allowance for their doubting, too.

If you can wait

and not be tired by waiting or being lied about don't deal in lies or being hated.

Don't give way to hating.

And yet don't look too good nor talk too wise.

If you can dream and not make dreams your master.

If you can think and not make thoughts your aim.

If you can meet triumph and disaster and treat those two Impostors just the same.

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken.

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools or watch the things you gave your life to broken.

And stoop and build them up with worn-out tools.

If you can make one heap of all your winnings and risking on one turn

of pitch-and-toss and lose and

start again at your beginnings and never breathe a word about your loss.

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew to serve your turn long after they are gone.

And so hold on when there is nothing in you;

except the will which says to them.

Hold on!

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue.

Or walk with Kings nor lose the common touch. If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you.

With all man count with you but none too much.

If you can feel the unforgiving minute is 60 seconds worth of distance run.

Wars is the earth and everything that is in it.

And which is more. You'll be a man my son.

There's all kinds of different ways to break.

You can break physically you can break mentally you can break your heart.

You can break your spirit and none of those are fun and all of those are gonna leave a mark.

But the mark that they leave.

Can be the mark of victory or it can be the mark of defeat.

Because every time you break and in every way that you break.

Well it's a chance. It's definitely a chance for you to give up and for you to

just to fall apart.

But there's also opportunity.

There's opportunity to get

stronger and get smarter and get faster and get tougher and get more stable

and get more resilient and get

better.

When you break.

You have the opportunity to show the world, the whole world.

What you are really made of.

So, so if you break if if you break

The fight isn't over.

In fact if you break the fight is just beginning.

And as you crawl up and out of that dismal and wretched place.

Covered and you're covered in blood and sweat and dirt and filth

as you rise above what you were.

And as you take the form of; of who you're supposed to be.

You will see that;

In the very act of standing up in the very act of fighting on you will become and you will remain.

Unbroken.
