On the one hand confidence
On the other humility,
And the middle path?
Success.

Hustle.
******* work.
Make yourself great.
You don't need goals.
You need to be the best you.

Remember where you came from.
Burn yourself at your lowest point in your mind.
Feel sickened. Never again.
For yourself. No one else.

Make your money. Earn your living.
Accept nothing less.
You are the best.
Get the best. And Give only what and to those,
Whom you deem worthy.

Take the punches.
Nothing will beat you up like life.
You will get knocked down.
Get up. Even if it's the next day.
Don't stay down. The most you'll ever be alive,
Is when you are closest to dying.

Rule your emotions.
Do not be ruled by them.
Therefore you shall rule others,
Who will fall prey to your will and
perseverance, while,
being consumed by their own emotional pulls.

Keep a vision in your mind.
What you are. What you want.
What you need. Who you want there with you.
Take it. Own it. Own yours.
And then tell me,
How Great You Are.
Muhammad Ali. Hat tip.
