The Summit // Congratulations, MJIO 2015! The ascent, looking up at the mountain as you make your way from the bottom when everything including gravity is falling on top of you, pushing you down. You know it'd easier to head back down and change course, you know you could stop but there's something better at the top of the mountain, and it's worth the fight.
Not all days are going to feel good, you know that. Every action will not prove beneficial, you've lived it. That light at the end of the tunnel, it can look awfully small but with each step...you're making a conscious decision to leave yesterday behind to seek something better.
You know why you're here, why you're getting up at 5am, the sacrifices you've made; it's because you wanted more, you expected out of yourself! Simply getting by isn't for you, it's for someone else. Yeah, you feel tired but it means nothing because at the end of the day, you'll either succeed or you won't, and it won't matter how tired you were.
Words like if, maybe, they're insignificant, they're for the weak. If you want something, you'll get it or you'll die trying. The failures along the way, they made you stronger; the wrong turns, they made you wiser; nothing is falling into your hands, you've taken the world by storm. Yeah people are going to say that you can't, that you won't but they are not you, they don't know what you're capable of, THEY WILL.
Discomfort, pain, you moved through it!....step by step. All you can think about now is being on top of that mountain, it's become an obsession, you waste no time feeling sorry for yourself that simply distracts from your goal. When it hurts the most, you press the hardest! You've given everything for this leaning on nothing but the faith you have in yourself
The blood, the sweat, the tears, they've allowed you to create your foundation. Now, now is the time to build an empire!
CONGRATULATIONS, MJIO 2015!
