Throwback Thursday!
I learned about discipline from a very young age.
When I was in grade 2 my parents put me in Karate. This was in part to learn self defence but also to build good habits and discipline.
I had to work hard.
I had to push myself
My brothers were also at the same dojo which made slaking off - impossible.
We had a competition coming up for where we would represent our dojo.
I practiced HOURS and hours my kata (a detailed choreographed pattern of martial arts movements) and I remember this moment like it was yesterday.
3rd Place - didn't call my name
2nd Place - didn't call my name
I thought "man... I guess I didn't win". The thought of me winning the whole thing didn't even cross my mind.
1st Place: Ari Barmapov.
I had won. In the moment it didn't feel like it. It felt surreal. It was simply a byproduct of the hard work.
You feel excited when you win something that you didn't earn.
You feel relief when you win something that was hard earned. FINALLY everything you worked hard for came to fruition.
This is why if you want something REALLY want something. You need to be willing to endure the pain that it will inevitably take to achieve it. All of those hard earned hours put in to achieving your dreams at the end you will get that relief. Might not be today, might not be tomorrow - but it will happen.
