On Episode 26 of the podcast I pull out a concept Jim DeCicco brought to mind for me in last week’s episode. For the most part I believe many of us have the same opportunities. We receive the same external stimulus from society. The way in which we perceive that stimulus and respond, can make the difference in our own success or failure in life. I have found that at those times in my own life where I am barely holding it together. The moments when I am sure everything is about to burst at the seams are the most important times to keep pushing forward. Whenever I have, it has resulted in the greatest outcome. We all fight our own battles in life. We face our own struggles. For others our personal struggles may seem small. To us they can seem like mountains. We all have the ability to scale said mountain and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done.
In every battle there comes a time when both sides consider themselves beaten. Then he who continues the attack wins.

The Spartans say that any army may win while it still has its legs under it; the real test comes when all strength is fled and the men must produce victory on will alone.
