So this is a weight of strength.

And I believe to truly be strong, you need unity of strength in your mind, your body, and your purpose or your spirit, your soul, whatever word you want to use.

And if you don't have this unity, if you are strong in two areas or not in one, where you're weak is

corrupts you.

It becomes toxic and it turns where you're strong into a weapon, both internally in insecurity and externally on those around you.

And this is why we need to realize the totality of what we are and strive for everything.

Now, strength is different for every person.

I'm never going to be their competitive athlete again, but that doesn't matter.

I just need to pursue as much as I can handle for myself.

I need to judge myself against myself.

Same thing with mind and purpose.

It's all about always moving forward, one step forward at a time, pursuing this unity.

not judging it against some arbitrary definition or random other person, judging it about yourself and your own mission.

Yeah, 100%.

Their will.

And you see that in individual sports.

Yes.

What makes someone great over good.

And those who are great often aren't the most skilled.

That's right.
