The Journey

History teaches us that to create something majestic and profound we must first start with the foundation.  Not many projects have come to fruition by jumping head first into the last phase of the drawing board.  Sometimes we take 2 steps forward and 1 step back to accomplish what we must.  This is the art of discipline.

Courage throughout history has brought heroes to the top of mountains to inspire us all.  It is this courage that transcends the mind to be better.  I am inspired by those that walk before us who have built there majestic fortresses of self-worth from the very foundation of discipline and perseverance.  I am reminded so many times of why I live the way I live, the reason I push so hard, and the calm of letting go of failures so easily.  Every risk that I take puts one more stone in the wall of my own majestic creation.

I am always building.  My cathedral of patience is built by laying each stone in the right manner, and with the right amount of care.  Every detail being fixated and obsessed over until the creation of who I am is conjured.  The skin will tear off my fingers and the bar will be heavy on my back.  This means nothing because the fortress will always remain, waiting for the next stone to fall into place.
