Six powerful words indeed, and underneath the determination to go from one end to the other in the spectrum is strongly felt.

You executed the challenge well. I do not believe I could capture a bologna sandwhich in 6 words...lol Thank you for sharing. Well done.

This was very powerful for only 6 words. I liked the ending of it :)

I love the title. And the words, how they start by describing you in a lowly state, but then exalt you to a position of victory, are wonderful and encouraging.
I just have one critique on it. When writing in this style, that is, a list, it would be best to make the words parallel.
You have three words ending in 's' and three ending in 'ing.' For the most effectiveness, have all the words have a similar suffix. That would make the work flow better.

Good for you. I wish you all the luck in the world.
