Consistency And Desire: How To Turn Iron Into Steel

“There’s a lot of good waiting for you on the other side of tired.”
- Gil Reyes (Andre Agassi’s long time trainer)

I have explored a myriad of ways to discover the other side of "tired." 

I have coughed my way there, lost my breath, pounded my feet into deformity, outstretched my hamstring, flooded my vision with tears of frustration, and have gotten stuck, many times. Suddenly surrounded by vibrating fatigue, enclosed in its powerful forcefield of pure intentions, never angry, rather truly believing "tired" meant to protect me from cracking and breaking into a thousand uneven pieces; by pushing too hard, going too far, or farther than it believed I could, or will, and never believing I’d make it to the other side. But I know something it doesn’t, I am still smiling.

Let’s GO!

The song and video choice this week is a fresh tune I found today, it echoes the theme of this week's post, and I love it!!
