"Never underestimate the power of dreams and the influence of the human spirit. We are all the same in this notion: The potential for greatness lives within each of us.”
I love that quote. It is a quote from Wilma Rudolph, an athlete who was considered the fastest woman in the world in the 1960s, and who competed in the 1956 and 1960 Olympics. And more importantly, regarded as a civil rights and women's rights pioneer.
She saw that we humans, beings of this planet earth, had this “element” called potential that was already within us and gave us the power to do whatever we want to do in life.
She had that warrior mindset, and focused her energy into becoming the fastest woman in the world, and on to becoming a famous advocate for civil rights and women’s rights. She molded her potential into form. How? By practicing technique, by practicing good eating habits, by practicing proper strength exercises … and so on. And more importantly, she had the energy to mold that potential into form.
Similar to Wilma Rudolph’s endeavors, we need to focus our energy and mold our potential to create success. How? Take action and practice, practice, practice what you want to do in form.
And the key is energy. Wilma Rudolph had that energy to mold her potential to create a successful athletic career and become a famous advocate for civil rights and women’s rights. She knew how to conserve her energy so that she can focus on her goal and attain that high level of success.
Likewise, warriors know how to conserve their energy, which in turn creates tremendous personal power.
The way you live your life provides varying degrees of energy. If you argue all the time, worry a lot, get road rage often … those are just energy drainers. By day’s end, you’re tired as tired can be, and you probably won’t have the energy to focus on your success action plans. Rather than waste and squander that precious energy, find activities that empower you to create more energy, not deplete it.
Success is correlated to the path of the warrior.
