How bad do you want it?

Are you already seeing yourself stronger from it before you enter it?

It must be that way.

Our lives are made from the decisions we make on a moment-to-moment basis.

Champions are never woken up and born into success.

They're created, they're matured, they're struggled and weathered through that effort of hard work and dedication and sacrifice to achieve that championship status.

It's these moments, these decisions we make on a daily basis.

Do we get up early and go for a run?

Do we hit the snooze button?

Do we go that extra rep in the gym and our body's dying?

Do we push past that?

All these little things are the inches that add up to be the measure of difference between first place and forever forgotten.

Those inches you need to be number one then are around us every single day.

It's not a bad break.

It's not the ref making a bad call.

It's that you get up that day and do those little tiny things, the little details, the little nuggets of life.

That's what adds up to be the difference.

By doing this, every day, repetitively, those are the measures that lead to the big moments of success that everyone sees in life.

No one sees the struggle, no one sees the hardship, the early mornings you get up, no one sees any of that.

They just see if your hand's raised or not, and if it is, oh, what a great guy, I wish I could be that guy, I wish I could be that guy.
