Notes

You are on a fight against an opponent you can’t see but oh you can feel on your heels can’t you? Feel him breathing down your neck. You know what that is? That’s you. Your fears, your doubts and insecurities, all ganged up like a firing squad ready to shoot you out of the sky. But don’t lose heart, while they are not easily defeated they are far from invincible. Remember, this is the grind, a battle royale between you and your mind, your body and the devil on your shoulders telling you this is just a game, this is just a waste of time, your opponents are stronger than you.

Luck is the last dying wish of those who wanna believe that winning can happen by accident. Sweat on the other hand is for the ones who know it’s a choice. So decide now, because destiny waits for no man.

So when the time comes and a thousand different voices are trying to tell you: you are not ready for it, listen instead to that lone voice of dissent, one that says you are ready, you are prepared, it’s all up to you, so rise and shine.
