“Only when it gets hard does it start to count.”
When you’re dead tired. When your legs are heavy. When your heart is pounding. When you’re over heated. When your body tells you you’ve reached your limit.
That’s when the real work begins. That’s when you improve. Everything before that is your buy in. The price you pay for opportunity to do the real work you’re here to do.
You’re here to get faster, stronger, harder to kill. You’re working every day to become the very best version of you.
Push harder when fatigue shows up. He’s not your enemy. He’s there to help you in your quest. So, be thankful he showed up. Be glad because he’s making you better.
Every time you’re exhausted and your body wants to quit, tell yourself, “It’s time to get better. This is how you improve. This is how you win.”
Let this be the voice inside your head. Let it drive all other voices and messages from your mind. Let it consume you until your work is done.
