Close your eyes and picture a frozen body of water. Perhaps it's part of the Arctic. It's vast and it's covered with a wintry blanket of snow. A novice would appear at this frozen landscape and conclude there is no way for a ship to cross it. But, that's not true. Big vessels are created for cutting through ice. They do it all the time (those vessels know their "Why" in everyday living). They just have to become built with structural integrity and strength and have the equipment to grind and cut away at ice.

Some individuals look at obstacles and quickly conclude that it just cannot be done. Individuals folks use the word impossible far too frequently. "It's impossible" becomes permission to stay in bed, avoid making sales calls, and just letting everyday living roll over them. YOU - a born Champion - were created for far better points than that! After all, you started your life competing against millions of others, and you won that contest. So, what is really a tiny ice in to you? What am I saying? I'm saying for you being an icebreaker. Set the bow of your ship toward the challenges and bear into it. Little by little. Inch by inch. Make your way across whatever obstacles are blocking your path. You could have to stay on track by forging up and over the speed bumps of everyday living.

Large battles are almost never won in a sudden and dramatic way. Most are won incrementally. It's almost like life is constructed to reward the diligent, the focused, and the determined. Football games are a great reflection of life. Yes, you have your high and dazzling "Hail Mary" passes. But, those are usually lucky moments. You can't build a whole game on them. Rather, the ground game is essential. Taking the 100 yard field inch by inch. Grinding it out. Blood, mud, sweat, and severe pain.

Set your face to be like that. I don't care what you have to go through - bankruptcy, divorce, illness, losing a job, whatever. As Winston Churchill told the British people during the darkest hours of World War II, "Never, never, never, never give up!"

The struggle is so much a component of attaining success. While others are sleeping, goofing off, or horsing around, you be the 1 who keeps slogging and chipping away correct on via the ice. Often remember that mountains are built 1 pebble at a time and climbed a single step at a time. Frozen lakes are crossed the same way. Chip. Chip. Chip.
