So you thought it was the end of the story?
So you thought just because the student was willing to be obedient to the guru, and not only wake up but meet him at the beach early in the morning, you thought that was enough?
I got it. So you thought because he was willing to walk out into the deep of the ocean that was enough because the guru placed his head under the water pulled it out and taught him that the secret to success is wanting it as bad as you wanna (want to) breathe.
So you thought that was the end of the story?
You thought that one single event, that one single moment was enough for him to stand amongst the greats, to make his dream become a reality.
Well you thought wrong. In fact, its far from over. That was the easy part, now its time to redefine the grind.
Oh you thought it was over? Well its just getting started. You see this is the part, this is the part, where life demands you make a life long commitment. This is the part where life demands that you make a vow. Come hell or high water, that you're willing to pay the price. The full fare, where you earn your spot with effort, with sweat, with blood, with tears.
And so you say you want it as bad as you wanna (want to) breathe? Then its showtime! Its examination time! Its time to get tested, to test your will, your endurance. Its time to test your heart, to test your limits. This is the part where you reinvent yourself.
Sleep? I don't sleep, you thought that was it? It goes deeper than going without sleep because you might miss the opportunity to succeed. No, no, no, its about no days off, no weekends, no holidays, no birthdays listen to me, no days off! No half days, no holidays. No snow days, its about gaining the competitive edge. Its about separation. Its about separating yourself from the pack, from the competition. Its about being a little faster, a little stronger listen to me, a little faster than you were last year, last month, last week.
In fact, you gotta (got to) be a little faster today than you were yesterday. You can't afford on the road to success, you can't afford to make excuses, no excuses when you feel pain and trust me you will feel it.
You gotta go deep, deep down. Beyond, beyond exhaustion, beyond worn out. And when its harder can you imagine how it will feel? When it takes longer than you thought it would take, and when the load is heavier than you thought you could bear and all you wanna do is give up, and all you wanna do is give in, when you feel like you've given all you've got - you gotta take one more step. You gotta run one more lap. You gotta throw one more punt you gotta fight back. You gotta fight a little harder. You gotta defeat disappointment, annihilate weakness and punish the competition.
Its about pushing yourself beyond the limits, its about perfecting the you, not just doing more, not just being better but finding your best. Listen to me thats not enough, you gotta be willing to face every fear, climb every mountain, defy every odd, onslaught every obstacle one step at a time, one day at a time until you, only you are left standing. There is no one else until you reach the top.
