Those athletes who attain a level many may aspire to, and yet few achieve this impressive feat. We may put it down to good genes and opportunities. However, this is not only athletes but people in business, academics, founders of non-profits, scientists, doctors, and more. People are impressive by their achievements.
Yet what we fail to admit is the dedication and hard work required to achieve this superior level. The failures, disappointments, and setbacks experienced to get to the helm. Yet, for all, it requires perseverance and a steadfast desire to reach their chosen goal.
We all can be Olympians in the areas we choose, but before we take on lofty ambitions, we should ask whether we are ready for the sacrifices and commitment to the purpose. When we add a ‘but’ or introduce any excuses, we may instead stop, and decide whether being the weekend warrior is where our true aspirations lay.
