I'm only 27 so I have a life ahead of me full of ideas and change....
but
At least today, I can be very convinced of a few things after I come home from a very productive training sessions.
Strength, success, and achievement are inevitable through diligence, consistency of work, repetition, wisdom, and most important of all, love.
There is no way that you can ever count on anything to happen for you. The world owes you nothing, the universe owes you even less than anything. All you can do is contribute and hope that what you did meant something ...and then you leave the world the way it is in it's own being. You don't have to rule the world, own the world, try to change the world...the truth is, the world really could do without you if you look on the grand scale.
So, I'm not saying that we should cease to exist but just the opposite. No matter what situation we are in, we are definitely blessed to be alive and be capable of living through love. And when we are able to live through love, freedom is the result.
In my opinion, our success will not depend on what others value in us, or how they measure us. But it will depend on how we measure ourselves to ourselves. What I mean is are we making sure that we are realizing the amazing blessing of life? If we have two legs, do we have a passion to make the most of it? If we only have one, can we still have the passion to make the most of one leg?!
I don't see how life could go beyond that...living out our existence (no matter the circumstance) to the absolute fullest. If life is a celebration of your blessings I don't see how failure enters the equation.
Sure we may come short on certain things but the perspective must remain...what's MOST important and are we understanding that regularly. For me, realizing these things has made me work harder than I ever have. It reminds me of the time when I first started throwing and I would literally throw twice a day for three hour periods only to grow stronger as the day went by...and that felt super human.
ok, ill stop
