Drive − 26 March, 2007
Drive.
Everyday is represented with a new challenge, and sometimes the added burden or obstacle of yesterday's challenge is still present.
You get up because of the sheer want to do better, and hopefully make it through the day with some good news.
You put your best foot forward, you do all you can, even if others around you are dragging themselves, and are almost listless in low self esteem.
Their lack of self motivation is another motivation for you and for what you want to be able to show as a role model's blue print for them.
It's often painful, the days get deeper and dirt piles up, people talk, but you still have something to prove.
Fatigue begins to strike, but you know for simple strength in yourself, and to keep spirits lifted, you won't allow your eyes do be seen dreary.
You simply put up your best. You push yourself to be better, and you never become satisfied with what you are and where you are going.
There are low times though, self reflection brings about results that stings your mind into working improperly, and its hard to dig out, but you have to find a way, simply because others are watching, others are wanting to know you can make it through, and because you want something more.
But the odds are against you.
How do you keep pushing? Find motivation, and turn anger and negatives into motivation, pride and positives?
I am not done.
Even at my age I think I needed a role model too.
And as stupid as some of you may say.
Read what I wrote above again, and realize its not only me that I am talking about.
Not only is it for me, but I am speaking of others especially people whom I admire their drive, even if it is silly.
I am on a 7 year (7 game) losing streak. Not as much accomplished as I would like and I still have a goal at the end, of which also I want everyone else around me to share in it.
You get it now???
Of course, metaphorically speaking...
Time to take over like Kobe.
And let nothing stop me.
