Because they don’t contend, they never lose. Let others play their games, make up their rules. You don’t need games to be a winner. Follow your own way. Don’t be confined by their rules. Come up with your own rules and live by those. Don’t look to anybody for approval. You don’t need it. All you need is the open road and the wind at your back. While they’re playing games, you’re setting your own way, your own pace. I could never follow their rules.
Play what you want to play. Play when you want to play. You don’t need anybody to tell you that. Checked the Quija board and it says go. Don’t let the little things stop you. Embrace the gypsy. Be free, carefree, a free spirit. Roll the dice and let it roll down the highway. You never know what’s around that next bend, what’s over the next hill, what’s on the other side of the mountain. You can’t see the other side if you don’t cross the ocean.
You only lose by playing the games of others. Make your own game. They’ll be another sunrise, but you won’t be young again. Opportunity may only knock once, so make sure you’re there to answer the door. Get the bike, car, boat, whatever tuned up and ready to go. Don’t leave any excuses hanging around. Always be ready. Always be prepared. Always have a back up plan, and a back up plan to that back up plan. Know how to get out before you go in. Don’t be left standing on the sidelines.
