But I love what Steve Siebold says, “Champions make “Do or Die” commitments, and they know they’ll have to endure an unknown level of suffering along the road to victory.”
Pain is inevitable on the journey to accomplishing anything worthwhile. At times, you will feel as if you are at war – primarily with yourself and your limited thoughts, views, feelings, and habits. Push through. Stay in the ring – even if you get knocked out several times. Cultivate a deep endurance – resilience.
