It is easy to be a defeatist. It requires no effort. No belief. Therefore, anyone in the world can be a defeatist — to accept failure in everything.
Your dream needs you to make a promise.
To overcome any challenge and chase any dream, you have to make one promise to yourself. It has to define your chase. If you can make that promise, something special happens — strength you did not know you had suddenly emerges. All you have had to do was to make one promise – to give it your best.
We are at our strongest when we block out the obstacles ahead.
This Death Crawl scene from the movie Facing the Giants demonstrates just how strong we are — more than we even know. If we lose ourselves to the goal, and keep our eyes from any distractions, there is nothing we cannot achieve. The only thing stopping us, are the obstacles in our eye line. But if we could wear a blindfold and listen to the beating heart of our dream instead, our real strength will carry us farther than we could ever have imagined.
