keep your foot down on the gas until it becomes who you are and then you can’t take it off. that’s the goal underneath the goal, driving the pressure so long it stops being a choice and starts being your nature, the thing your body does before your mind votes. the greats got there. they pressed past the point of deciding, into the place where relentless is just what they are now, and the outcome had no defense against a person built entirely out of not stopping. become that. keep pressing until stopping stops being possible.
you get one life. and you’re going to spend it being what - safe? liked? understood? go be the thing that sets your chest on fire and let the safe people watch from wherever safe people watch from.
