This is my escape… This is my anchor… The place I go every day. To be alone with my thoughts. To push myself. To prove to myself I can go beyond the pain, beyond any limits I thought existed. Not everyone gets it. That’s ok. I don’t get them either… This is MY time! My time where I leave the world behind… headphones on, world off! Sweat, pain, out of breath… I’d rather die than leave with anything left! There won’t be anything left! NOTHING in my TANK! Not an ounce of effort! I give my ALL! Every time! That’s who I am. That’s all I know. That’s how I GROW! 

I’ve never known anything less than 100%. Maybe that’s why I’m not in the 99%. The 99% who settle: Who never push… Never reach for what they want in life… Never go the extra mile… Those who make excuses… but never take action! Those who quit when it’s hard so will always find it hard! They’ll always find life hard because they always choose easy. I’m just glad that’s not me. I DEICDE who I am going to be! It starts and ends with ME! It starts here every day! That’s why I go through hell. To prepare myself for the world! To callus my hands and callus my mind so I’m not the average kind! 

It starts here! Here where I’m willing to die! I’ll die before giving up! I’ll die before giving in! That’s just who I am! It’s starts NOW! And it never stops! That’s just who I AM! And I’m not changing for any one.
