Surrender To Victory

In the end, you surrender to victory…You bend to its measure, not yours.


In the end, you surrender to victory… You bend to its measure, not yours.
If you long to be successful, you don’t get success, you get an opportunity for success…


The longing comes from your gut, not your head. It’s about responding to the opportunity, not the outcome.


Many opportunities go begging by athletes so focused on outcome that they miss their own opportunity.


You’ve gotta take those opportunities by the balls and maximise your presence in them.


Life won’t grant your longing without your active participation in the opportunity.
You’ve gotta do the work!


Now, the task is going to bend you at right angles; it’s going to shape you, profoundly change you, twist you outta shape, and then bend you into shape.


All the shit that is not going the way you want it to is the opportunity bending you to its measure.


Allow it!!
