Standing out in a crowd of superstars is damn tough. Good thing there aren’t that many of them.
Lack of commitment and willingness to suffer personal sacrifice gives everyone else a fighting chance.
You should be glad that there are so many people out there that don’t want to take the extra step, or who decide to stop when they’re so close to the finish line. If it wasn’t for people who give up, it would be harder to stand out.
Remember the joke about two guys who run into a bear? The first guy immediately kneels and tightens the laces on his shoes.
The first guy yells out, “do you really think you can outrun a bear?”
“No. But I don’t have to outrun the bear. I just have to outrun you”.
Keep going when it gets tough. Keep pushing and striving and trying when everyone around you gives up. You will succeed. You just have to go farther than the other guy.
Celebrate the average Joe. If it wasn’t for him, then I wouldn’t be able to spot you as easily as I can.
Now tighten those shoe laces and run,
