Use darkness as fuel!

In life, we will often find ourselves frustrated, angry at our current situation of insufficiency. We are then faced with a choice: either sweep that under the rug, ignore that, and stay on the downwards spiral towards mediocrity, or...

Get enraged, get pissed off that we're not the best. Use our anger as fuel. Do not stop until we are atop the mountain. Until then, weakness is not an option. Feel the pain and frustration of not being your best self. If the pain hasn’t gone away, then there’s still work to be done.

Thus, turn negativity into positivity. If we're not who we should be, we'll feel pain. That's for sure. The difference lies in having that pain grow, or have it eject us out of our mediocre situation.

The difference between a normal man and a champion, is that, whereas the normal man fights his pain, the champion tames it and turns it into his ally.
