embrace
OVERALL RATING
Flashback to 10 weeks out from my last prep where I made a decision to stop 'forcing' my body and fooling my mind to do what it just wasn't ready to do at that time..... I would consider myself good at this sport and maybe even carrying the potential to be great at it someday BUT like anything worth achieving there is this process that requires patience and persistence and above all a passion for each step, stumble, success and set back along the way..... For those who compete.... embrace every second, indulge in each memory being made. But remember the reality of your current situation as this is but 1 day in the next umpteen million more to come of this journey. When the stage is gone and the tan fades don't forget the original grind you fell in love with before you CHOSE to compete.....the sense of satisfaction you experience as you conquer the daily grind.....every ounce of hustle and effort, every drop of sweat and tears. Regardless of where you place, remember you are a rare breed that only a minuscule amount of this worlds population can say they belong to....
