Excellence isn't stumbled upon. We notice those few, seldom known, shining stars and we raise our hands high to grasp at them. We stare endlessly upward in mediocre attempts to befriend or become like them. There is where we stop. Do we really believe that they have grown so bright and so high by staring and lifting their hands?
THESE are the ones who've writhed in Obstacle's heavy strike, relished in its processes. THESE are the ones of dedication who've sought more than to look at potential from afar. Those of excellence have jumped willingly into a refiner's fire and have given up comfortable things for jagged sacrifice.
Put down you hands and run.... RUN into the face of this challenge and be burnt alive by the passion to be great. Work at THAT flame and on some indistinct day...you'll notice you're looking down rather than up.
