Best races in life aren’t the ones you win

Runners run for the finishing line.
Even if many have reached that zone. 

Climbers climb for the mountain peak.
Even if many have achieved that hike. 

Sailors sail for the distant shore.
Even if many have sailed there before.

Jumpers jump the lofty sights. 
Even if many have conquered those heights.  

Best races in life aren’t the ones you win.
When a race drains you outright, you really gain.
