STRAIN

Humans are magical creatures. In order to achieve anything in this life, we must simply decide to.

But here's the trick. A decision is an action.

Not a sweet thought.

Not a wish.

Not a fleeting moment of motivation.

Over time, these all prove to be worthless.

A decision is a meaningful action towards a goal. A decision is the spec of sand that creates the beach.

A DECISION IS an ACTION.

In order to be truly successful in this life, you have to make the right decisions over and over and over again. Time after time.

Our minds would rather not do this. It is in our nature to seek comfort and drift into the ordinary. It takes persistence and constant STRAIN to achieve the EXTRAORDINARY.

STRAIN in the face of fear.

STRAIN in the face of failure.

STRAIN in the face of the unexpected.

STRAIN in the face of discomfort.

This is a daunting task, but within it lives the sweet fruits of life. Within strife lives true happiness and success. Within discomfort lives the key to our greatest selves.
