“One more rep. One more sit. One more mile. That is what it takes to get the edge. Winning is what happens when deep down inside, you get tired of losing.”

If you really want to know what you are capable of, push yourself to the limits. If you really want to know what you are made up of, push yourself to the limits. If you really want to realize your true potential, push yourself to the limits. If you really want to discover the hidden treasures within you and without you, push yourself to the limit. If you want to go deep into the earth like roots and be humble just like the valley, push yourself to the limit. If you want to soar high into the sky like the branches and be glorious like the mountain, push yourself to the limit.

If you don’t push yourself, you will never grow. If you don’t push yourself, you will never develop any kinds of strength. If you don’t push yourself, you will never learn and discover anything new. If you don’t push yourself, you will fall into the rut. If you don’t push yourself, you will remain as ignorant as ever about yourself and the world around you. If you don’t push yourself, your world will always remain the same. If you don’t push yourself, everyone around you will push you in the direction you don’t want to go. Pushing yourself consciously in anything you are doing means you have full control about yourself and your own life. As a result, you will feel much more empowered than ever before.

Really, I am simply tired of losing. I am simply tired of having this victim’s mentality. I am simply tired of complaining and blaming everything and everyone but me. I am simply tired of not doing anything productive and always regretting about not doing anything. I am simply tired of my own laziness and the way I procrastinate everything for tomorrow. I am simply tired of defending myself from knowing my own truths. I am simply tired of just talking and never ever walking my talk. I am simply tired of my own stupidity. I am tired of being an ignorant fool and never bothering to accept it. I am simply tired of not grinding and hustling and crushing.

Now, I want to do something about it. I want to learn to Decide, Commit, Act, Succeed and Repeat. I might not be able to hustle in the field I am not interested in. I might not be able to work hard in the field I am not passionate about. But I certainly want to and need to hustle more in my own field, in the field I am really passionate about. I am passionate about writing. My dream is to be a great writer. So, I want to write more, read more, and write even more and read even more and repeat the process until the day I die.

I have stopped romanticizing about everything. I don’t have any ideas of an utopian world in my mind. I want to work with the messiness of the reality. I am starting to fall in love with the diversity of the problems we face on a daily basis. I don’t hesitate to get my hand dirty anymore. I am willing to work my ass off. Because with time, I have realized that nothing is going to happen unless I start acting.

Now that I am conditioning myself to write on a daily basis, I want to push myself to write even more. I want to push myself to write even better and in a more consistent manner. I want to push myself to read as much as I can. That’s all I want to do. I am sure something will happen after ten years if I continue putting the same level of effort and work in a consistent manner.

Keep pushing yourself to the limits. The reason I wrote this blog is because I wanted to push myself to write this blog today. I was fully exhausted by writing a story for my friend for six hours. I thought I won’t be able to write another blog for one more hour. My eyes were paining. My mind was literally burning inside for thinking for such a long time in a consistent manner. But deep within me, I knew I could push myself. Even though I was feeling like a shit when I began writing, I am feeling awesome by now. I wanted to write few lines and sleep. But I have already written more than seven hundred words and I still want to write more…

I have to sleep now. It’s already 3 am in the morning and I have to wake up at 8 am go to work tomorrow. I have to work double shift tomorrow. It is going to be a rough day tomorrow, but deep within me, I know I can always push myself.
