All things of value come with a cost
And this cost it is essential because without it
There is no triumph, there's no victory
It's what separates out those who
really want something; the determined
Why do triathletes compete, why do rowers row, runners run
At a competitive level it is certainly
isn't because it feels good physically
You know it's quite the opposite
They endure a lot of rough situations
A lot of painful training
Because of a tiny light at the end of the tunnel
And that light is how you build upon you self
worth, it's how you define what you're capable of
And success cannot come to be without adversity,
how you handle yourself in those adverse
situations that is what defines a person
That is, how you build your legacy
There will come a time when it hurts
When you have to ask yourself if it's worth it
And consciously avoid quitting and turning to an easier approach
Remember, anyone can run down hill
But not many people can run up
And the interesting thing is that that trophy is usually at the top
Be careful how you conceptualize the word hell,
because hell implies that the suffering will never end
That it is the ultimate pain
Three things:
You can always be worse off than you are
Suffering is temporary
When you wake up tomorrow,
having given up will be far more
painful then anything else you could have done
Everything in life is temporary
There's a quote that has gotten me through many tough times in my life
And it's "Pain is temporary, but quitting is forever"
And how true that is
I can still remember the times in my life
Where I know I had more to give
That stays with you
But how bad your 2k test hurt
How bad you wanted to sleep before a final exam
The pain in your body doing the final stretch of a race
All that dissipates
It becomes pretty meaningless looking back
It's the results that matter
It's the result you remember
Because when the hurt is over right
The struggle is gone, you either did something great or you didn't
That's when things fall into place
The hell you experienced was simply a
vehicle taking you to your destination
So being that you only live once
That you're fortunate enough to have an
opportunity to do something significant
Why not make it hurt?
Rise above what is uncomfortable and see the big picture
Ride it out
Because when all is said and done the guy who
gives more when it hurts gets more when it's over
And this cost it is essential because without it
There is no triumph, there's no victory
It's what separates out those who
really want something; the determined
Why do triathletes compete, why do rowers row, runners run
At a competitive level it is certainly
isn't because it feels good physically
You know it's quite the opposite
They endure a lot of rough situations
A lot of painful training
Because of a tiny light at the end of the tunnel
And that light is how you build upon you self
