"Everyone wants to be a beast, until it's time to do what beasts do." - Unknown

Everyone wants to be great. Everyone wants to be the best, the top, the 1%, or as the saying goes, everyone wants to be a beast until it's time to do what beasts do. See, what life has revealed and continues to emphasize is that our most vital decisions,

they present themselves in the dark of night. The chaos of the battle, they show up amidst our discomfort. We know these moments. The ones that seek to stop us in our tracks and turn us around. They are what must be prepared for. They are the gateway to excellence. So let's look at the big picture for a minute. Life in totality.

Because consistently doing this simple, easy things, they're important. Consistency of that which is simple is the foundation. It's what we build the structure upon, but it is far from everything. Moving right along, we have the difficult things that push us to be more, that show us who we are, that hurt, that test us the temporary storms. They are the armor we come to wear. They're what prepares us to endure the trials. and tribulations of life like a muscle that must be grown and developed.

But the difficult things are far from everything. Because lastly, we have our defining moment. The moments that put it all together. When the sky feels like it's falling, the body feels like it's failing, the mind feels like it's dwindling. Presenting the question, will you do the question, will you do the,

the hard thing when you feel like you can't do the hard thing. It's doing what's difficult when the situation around you is screaming at the top of its lungs. You've gone too far. You've separated from normalcy. You are wandering into something that can no longer be deemed predictable or safe. See, running is hard. But running when you're tired?

When you didn't get a great sleep last night, you don't feel good. When you're busy, when your schedule's full, when you have things to do, when you're in the midst of your workout and your lungs are screaming for air, the cloud of pain is hovering over you as you make your way forward for no other reason, then you told yourself you would. That's not hard. That's transformative. Going to the gym is hard. But going to the gym when you don't want to,

when you don't even feel like stepping into the car, when your mind is trying to rationalize a day off, when you're asking yourself what the point was to begin with, that's not hard. That's transformative. Growing your business is hard. But growing your business when you've experienced a monumental letdown. When you went all in and were left empty-handed,

when you were chewed up and spit back out, yet you showed up, kept your eyes locked in on that win. That's not hard. That is transformative. See, these monumental moments, the ones that break so many of us that we've all come face to face with over the course of our lives, they're not about easy versus hard.

They're about doing the hard thing when it seems as though you cannot do the hard thing. The world is saying no. Your body is saying no. That chirping in your head is saying no. Can you separate yourself from that hurt and that anger and that disappointment? Can you segment the negativity knowing that you will do what you can to remedy this situation? But that life's curveballs can't stop. you from moving forward for the simple reason that you won't let them when life

gets hard you have to be harder the one who gets bolder you have to learn to surprise yourself here is what I believe to be the goal the pinnacle it's what I aspire to become when life puts me through hell to dig deep and find the emotional IQ the awareness to know that Right now is the invitation I've been longing for. My chance to level up. See, you might be wondering what brought this concept to the forefront of my mind. And well, it was one of life's inevitable setbacks.

And I had to look in the mirror and say, I'm not going to think about the technical issues that just cost me thousands of dollars and thousands of hours of my time. No, I'm going to one learn, but put parameters in place so it never has. happens again and to find the opportunity. See, when we build back, we tend to build back stronger, clean slate, new lease on life. Where can I be better than I was?

Where can I pinpoint and capitalize on the value I once walked right by? When we adopt this mentality, we become unstoppable. Someone on the outside looking in might say it's over the top. And it is. But so are the things that I want. They might say it's not that simple. Correct.

Running away from our problems is simple. I'm not about that life. They might say it's impossible to do all the time, to think that way every day. And perhaps so. But if we bow our heads and retreat, every time life isn't perfect, we'll never attempt anything.

I'm not aiming for perfection. I'm aiming for perfection. for progress. Those who aim for perfection tend to spend the entirety of their lives doing exactly that. Aiming, planning, speculating. Wanting more for yourself means receiving more rejection from the world. It means elongated valleys of despair. It means deeper treks through the heart of the vast unknown across distant lands and through turbulent waters, it means doing the hard thing when the circumstances are what mere mortals call impossible. At some point, we must transcend the versions of ourselves we once were.

We must recategorize and redefine the adversity we face in life. Be the ones who find something where others see nothing. Find value in the seemingly valueless. Let us start from the premonition that there's always a solution, and if there is always a solution, there is always a way to bring it to existence. Some will stop it easy, fine, let them. Some will stop it hard, great to each their own. But if one dares to push further, to trudge forth into the night, they will be tasked with doing the hard. doing the hard thing when the circumstances are devastating.

They will be asked not just to sail the ship, but to sail it through the storm, to not just build the tower, but to build as the skies open up, the wind blows and the ground shakes, that will be the difference. That has always been the difference. So what will you do when the time arises? Who will you choose to become?
