Excellence is about getting back up over and over again, taking the bad breaks in stride and seeing the losses for what they are; necessary." - Eddie Pinero Tracks: 0:00 Get Back Up 3:50 There I Will Be 6:57 You Are Right Where You Need To Be

There have been times in my life when I'd been down. I've been out. I've been afraid. I've looked up at the road ahead and been completely unsure. And I can say firsthand when you're going through a situation like this, that it essentially consumed you. Right? It's all you see.

It's all you think about. To the point where the good stuff, the opportunity all around you, you, it becomes transparent. You see right through it. It's the negative. It's misfortune for a period of time that becomes your narrative, becomes the story. What if this is forever? What if I'm not as good as I want to be or as they are? What if things don't work out? Never mind the fact that you've been here before and you've battled back. Never mind how far you've come. No, that takes a backseat to the discomfort that we feel right now,

and that's the irrationality of the human mind we forget. We forget that the lows create the highs. That temporary isn't forever that you can't stand with any type of authority if you've never before fallen. Accomplishing anything is never just walking up and real. reaching a goal. It's about getting back up over and over again. Taking the bad breaks in stride and seeing the losses for what they are necessary. What if I told you that the difficult times weren't just manageable, they were what you needed? Those moments when

you felt helpless were a bridge to something better, a demonstration of just how capable You are in how strong you can be. Feeling lost, feeling defeated. Sure, it's unsettling. But it's also a reminder that you are exactly where you need to be. In one form or another, your struggle becomes your answer. Life isn't always calm seas and sunny skies, but if you let it, it will teach you to weather any storm to come out on top.

Never lose sight of the opportunity. It's there. Hiding behind the struggle immersed in the ups and downs, and when you know that you will not let yourself stay down, that you'll get up, struggle becomes a building block, not a weight around the ankles. With each stumble, you become taller. With each misstep, you step forward. The problem will never be tough times.

It will be refusing. to find that next level for fear of their materialization. Regret is a choice. And for those who refuse to stay down, it will be a choice that they'll never know. When it matters most, when the odds are against me, when precedent says no, there I will be. When the right path happens to be the lonely path,

And victory is separated by a drop one million feet deep or a cliff, two million feet high. There I will be. When they expect failure, anticipate, defeat, celebrate each setback, there I will be. Standing tall and ready. When there appears no way in. When my demons push me out, when my senses advocate retreat and the path forward is cloaked in doubt, there I will be standing tall and ready. When I feel alone in my pursuit of tomorrow or tempted by the comfort of yesterday, when pride whispers of their relentless criticism and my legs cry out in exhaustion, there I will be standing. tall and ready.

When hell rains down, when faith lets up, when my reason for beginning is replaced by a million little reminders of all that can go wrong, there I will be standing tall and ready. When the sky looks like a ceiling, when the floor feels like home, when every light dims and every fear illuminates, when eyes roll and doors lock, When the sun submits, the clouds emerge, gravity flexes and my knees tremble, there I will be.

Never will I back down. Never will I cower or settle for the present when our future is limitless. I will get back up until I've made my point, won my battle, secured my fight. The world is simple. Moving forward is not without its tests or lessons, but as long as I continue on, I evolve. With each step, I win. There's no running away or white flag or surrendering to the man in the mirror. The only conqueror capable of bringing me down.

No, nothing will tell me what I can be. I will always be there, standing tall and ready, not because it's their will, But because each day is mine and not theirs. Look, I'm tired, I'm worn, but I'm here. And I'm ready for anything that waits ahead. You're right where you need to be. Sure, you have your doubt. Perhaps you feel tired, alone, fearful.

Maybe you're trying to make sense of a world that It feels too complex. Or all you see and here are reasons to turn back, to find shelter, to run, don't. Regardless of how hard it seems, don't. You are right where you need to be. Turning thoughts to things, making life from dreams, what makes change so interesting. powerful yet deceptive is that it comes to us in small doses. Not a tidal wave of transformation but a slow, steady rising tide of progress.

No one feels the tug of erosion yet it chips away. And so do you. Removing piece by piece behold you. The world you're moving away from and piece by piece. You unveil the promise of your becoming. You may not see the whole picture. You may not understand the whole story, but right now, in real time,

it's being told. And you are right where you need. We just weren't equipped to understand what that looks like. It's never been what you see that makes you uneasy. It's what's missing. That's what hurts.

The solutions you wanted, the changes you expected, the finish lines you envisioned. It's the wondering, how long must I wait? Did I make a wrong turn? Is the joke on me? But it's this line of questioning that causes so many to stop. Unaware of how close they were. ignorant to the foundation they were standing on. What you need is not a miracle.

It's to simply carry on. To keep laying those bricks because not a one is wasted. And sometimes you don't realize you're on the 80th floor until you look down. That climb can be frustrating, exhausting. It isn't always. glamorous but it's necessary and strength comes from understanding that truth you are right where you need to be the world it can't take what you refuse to give it and self-belief is non-negotiable it's off the table your

most prized possession so hold it tight because it'll be needed when the journey feels long and the road impossible you'll know that you can always take one step forward and that is the essence of life, of growth, of progress. Think about the steps, the lessons, the self-discovery that led you to this intersection of now and forever. This beginning of whatever you decide comes next. You are right where you need to be because you are armed with the decisions that brought you to today and the courage to let them carry you into tomorrow you could be anywhere but you're here and as you strap up and settle in you'll see that right here is everything
