I know you don't want to do it.

I know you just want to listen to that little voice that comes to you when you hear that alarm go off in the morning, or when you're feeling tired or weak or sick of the grind.

You want to listen to that voice that tells you it's okay to take the day off.

It's okay to back down. It's okay to take the day off it's okay to back down

it's okay to not try anymore that voice the one telling you it's okay to slack off

is the same voice that will keep you stuck where you are it's the voice of

comfort of staying the same and it's as tempting as it is dangerous this voice it's

sneaky it makes excuses sound reasonable laziness feel justified and quitting seem

like an option but it's all a trap you've got to recognize that voice for what

it is a barrier to your success. It's not your friend or your

ally. It's the enemy of your potential. Every time you listen to it, you give away a piece

of your progress, a chunk of your dreams. When you hear that little voice start to kick in, shut it down immediately.

Do not listen to that little weak voice.

That weakness in your head is trying to get you to take the easier route.

And that easier route may be easier in the beginning,

but it will prove to be longer and more painful than the hard route and what's the hard route the hard route's getting up when you know

you need to get up it's studying when you know you should be studying it's getting to work on time

when you need to be working it's putting in those extra reps when you know you need to stretch yourself to get stronger.

You need to cultivate a different voice in your head, the voice of resilience, of determination, of grit.

This is the voice that says, get up, even though you're tired.

It's the voice that tells you to keep pushing when everything in you wants to stop.

This is the voice of a champion, and it's the one you need to listen to.
