An identity so clear that he developed an objective.The objective was to find his city's ring, but the path to get there was cruel.For years he fought his enemies for the ring but he could not conquer them. One time he got close, but he was defeated by the men of large lakes.After years offrustration he left on a new journey for the ring. His identity remained the same but the man who was once known as the answer became a question in himself.A question of struggle.A question of dominance.A question ofperseverance.And somewhere along this path, he lost his identity and then he lost his way home.So how do you like it so farI know, it's sad.This warrior had an objective his whole life. He poured his heart into making this objective into a reality.Try telling the other warriors practicing in their backyards even as you read these words that their dream is no more than a fantasy.You see, when you pour your heart into something, it makes things fuzzy and it can make you thinkunclear.He needed to move forward and took a big step in that by announcing his retirement from his journey of finding the ring.But then somethinghappened, an opportunityarisen.He was given the chance to come back to the city he started in, the city he poured his heart into.This was unexpected and surprising but he was given a choice.
