What does it mean to be undefeated? Could you ever be unconquerable in your mind? 

For anyone struggling, the poem Invictus, by William E. Henley, is both a compass to a higher road, and a MUCH needed kick in the ass to the weakness we so quickly subscribe to. 

Overview of today's episode:
-History and context around the poem
-Line-by-line and stanza-by-stanza breakdown
-What are you gonna do about it? 

Ante up. Here's what we ask of you:
1. Do something with it. Notate what comes up for you. Pay attention for the thoughts and actions that will come to mind, because those are the path forward.
2. Rate and review. The feedback helps, and we want to hear your experience.
3. Pay it forward. If this episode reminds you of someone, share it with them and tell them why. Then have them ante up with #1.
