The Path to Greatness

Ever wonder why it seems like every time we try to pursue something great in life, whether it be a dream or a massive goal that we desire, something unexpected always happens? It seems like once we finally build up enough courage and strength to commit to this great objective we want to obtain, life decides to hit us hardest. At this moment we as humans are naturally going to do 1 of 2 things. Fight or Flight.

Like Sylvester Stallone says, in one of his most impactful films 'Rocky Balboa', "The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!" The reason why "life" hits you, is because there is a spiritual warfare on this earth that we as humans cannot see. As we continue to strengthen our spirit and grow as people, obstacles arise to try and prevent us from achieving our goals because we become a threat to the negative spirits around us.

I challenge you to think about all the times you've attempted to do something great but things came up to hinder your path. Think about all the successful people that you may or may not look up to. All of these people, that in society's eyes, are "Legends/Celebrities" have all overcame GREAT obstacles in life. And if you're reading this, I know that you have as well.

So the next time that you decide to commit to something great, I want you to remember that the path of greatness will always bring obstacles with it. And remember that we have a choice to either stay on the ground when life hits us or get back up and GO even Harder, even Faster, even STRONGER than ever before.

Stay Blessed!
