The "inspite of it all" mentality.
"The boy who is going to make a great man must not make up his mind merely to overcome a thousand obstacles, but to win in spite of a thousand repulses and defeats."- Theodore Roosevelt.
A thousand obstacles isn't what we will be hit by because, the number is infinite and it will keep expanding in its infinite nature to make sure we do not get too desperate for comfort.
At the start of every journey is that understanding that, it is a journey and may end layer than we anticipate.
It is like commuting in our cities. We are often made to wait in senseless traffic and in these times we miss out appointments or those times we wish we could have done a lot rather than not.
Life is filled with challenges that needs overcoming and when you as the individual is sets out to work, just know that there will be so many challenges to be had.
"Inspite of it all" should be in the storyline of every winner because, that there is how true greatness is storied.
Don't count your challenges like you know them. Just have an open mind to tackle whatever is thrown your way because, the true survivor is that man who "inspite of it all", secures his win and makes the victory dance.
Stay strong boy, your journey to greatness is just about to start, and the challenges are brewing a storm.
