How Far Can You Go?

Mediocrity ain’t in my vocabulary.  It should not be in yours either.  Average is for the weak.  Normal?  Bleh – no thanks.  This ride called life we are all on has but one go around.  No more tickets – you only get 1.  So why not push for outstanding?  Why dare to fulfill all your potential and be great?  Why not see how far you can go?

Only a small handful of great warrior sages come along every generation.  Why is that?  Is it genetics?  I don’t think so.  Is it the perfect storm of coincidence and circumstance that combine to create these masters?  Probably not.  So why are there so few?  It’s that they, the rare breed, possess the will power, the drive, the inner fire to go farther and climb higher than anyone else around them.

Do you have it in you?

Do you want it badly enough?

The means to be on of the elite is in your grasp.  The information and training is readily available, now more than any other time in history, for anyone with the desire to go out and get it.  The only failure is in your personal motivation and drive to go after it!  There are no real limitations on mastery, martial or otherwise – the only true limits are those you place on yourself!

The sad part is we fight for our own limitations.  We fight to be small, to be weak, to be comfortable, to be less than our God given potential.  We cling to our limits like a child clutching a blanket against the approaching darkness.  As if it can really protect us.  We tell ourselves that we can’t when what we really mean is, ‘it’s hard and I’m afraid of trying because I might fail…’

But we must be strong.

We must endure.

We must overcome.

We must fulfill our mission to completely exhaust all our potential and succeed mightily.

We must be great for no other reason than to see how far we can go.

Why not?  The end is the same for each one of us.  The ride will end all too soon. And it’s much better to burn out than to fade away!

Enter At Your Own Risk…
