In a week where speculation of retirement and potential contract disputes fueled the headlines about him, quarterback Tom Brady instead shared an inspriational reflection post to his social media accounts about his football career and life in general on Thursday.

“Keep Going” Brady urged to his readers struggling with self-doubt.

The lengthy message could be interpreted as a personal retrospective on his rise to NFL stardom and the obstacles he faced along the way, but towards the end he also tags Under Armour, so maybe it doubles as an advertisement too.

Whatever the purpose of the post may be, it’s content is meaningful enough, those viewing it may just want to run through a wall after reading it.

“Keep going. Keep going. Because WILL. always finds a way.”

If you happen to be very lucky, when you are 10 years old, you will have people in your life tell you that the world can be anything you want it to be, and you will believe them. And those same people will never put limits on your abilities. So no matter the circumstances, you always try your best and you never give up, because that’s what you do when you’re chasing your dream. If you’re lucky, you will have family, teammates, coaches, mentors and trainers along the way to help you when you lose faith in yourself. And they will give you the strength to carry on. If you’re lucky, you may get picked last, you may ride the bench, and many times the team may move on without you, and you come to recognize that, in return, you are given the chance to earn the greatest edge of all that can never be taken away: WILL. HEART. To anyone who feels left out or is afraid of trying their best for fear of failure, you are not alone. The magic you’re looking for is in the WILL of trying and not giving up. The love of your dream is in your HEART. One day, you will look back on your life and appreciate the struggle and have nothing but gratitude for everything that happened along the way. To anyone who is struggling early in the morning or late at night in pursuit of your dream, struggles that many will never see, and to any leaders out there who believe in someone who doesn’t yet believe in themselves… Keep going. Keep going. Because WILL always finds a way. @underarmour #TBT #WillFindsAWay
