"Make of your life a dream, and of a dream a reality."
"Rise and shine.
6am and your hand can't make it to the alarm
clock before the voices in your head start telling you that it's too
early, too dark, and too cold to get out of a bed.
Aching muscles lie still in rebellion, pretending not to hear your brain commanding them to move
A
legion of voices are shouting their unanimous permission for you to hit
the snooze button and go back to dreamland, but you didn't ask their
opinion.
The voice you've chosen to listen to is one of defiance.
A
voice that's says there was a reason you set that alarm in the first
place. So sit up, put your feet on the floor, and don't look back
because we've got work to do.
Welcome to The Grind!
For
what is each day but a series of conflicts between the right way and the
easy way, 10,000 streams fan out like a river delta before you, Each
one promising the path of least resistance.
Thing is, you're
headed upstream. And when you make that choice, when you decide to turn
your back on what's comfortable and what's safe and what some would call
"common sense", well that's day 1. From there it only gets tougher.
So
just make sure this is something you want. Because the easy way out
will always be there, ready to wash you away, all you have to do is pick
up your feet.
But you aren't going to are you?
With each step comes the decision to take another
You're on your way now
But this is no time to dwell on how far you've come.
You're in a fight against an opponent you can't see
Oh but you can feel him on your heels can't you?
Feel him breathing down your neck
You
know what that is?
That's you...
Your fears, your doubts and
insecurities all lined up like a firing squad ready to shoot you out of
the sky
But don't lose heart
While they aren't easily defeated, they are far from invincible
Remember this is The Grind
The
Battle Royale between you and your mind, your body and the devil on
your shoulder who's telling you that this is just a game, this is just a
waste of time, your opponents are stronger than you.
Drown out the voice of uncertainty with the sound of your own heartbeat
Burn away your self doubt with the fire that's beneath you
Remember what you're fighting for
And never forget that momentum is a cruel mistress,
She can turn on a dime with the smallest mistake.
She is ever searching for that weak place in your armor
That one tiny thing you forgot to prepare for
So as long as the devil is hiding the details, the question remains,"is that all you got?", "are you sure?"
And
when the answer is "yes". That you've done all you can to prepare
yourself for battle THEN it's time to go forth and boldly face your
enemy, the enemy within
Only now you must take that fight into the open, into hostile territory
You're a lion in a field of lions
All hunting the same elusive prey with a desperate starvation that says VICTORY is the only thing that can keep you alive
So
believe that voice that says " you CAN run a little faster " and that "
you CAN throw a little harder " and that " you CAN dive a little
deeper" and that, for you, the laws of physics are merely a suggestion.
Luck
is the last dying wish of those who wanna believe that winning can
happen by accident, sweat on the other hand is for those who know it's a
choice, so decide now because destiny waits for no man. And when your
time comes and a thousand different voices are trying to tell you you're
not ready for it, listen instead for that lone voice in decent the one
that says you are ready, you are prepared, it's all up to you now.
So rise and shine."

VIDEO: Pop wants some nasty
San Antonio once again has illustrated to the Association that age is an issue of mind over matter. Under the helm of Gregg Popovich, the Spurs escaped the fiery Golden State Warriors to enter the Western Conference Finals.
With today's heightened level of flash and panache, there's no myth why fans have the attention span of the lightning bolt when watching a Spurs game. They flourish on the fundamentals and hone in on the concept of team play. Coach Pop quietly has cemented himself as one of the top-5 NBA coaches of all-time. I say serenely due to the market the Spurs are in. Coach Pop's coaching methods are the primary force that has allowed San Antonio to stick around for sole long. Of course, great drafting helps as well, but Popovich's sagacity is the nucleus of this unit.
Win or lose against Memphis in this round, you can expect to see some nasty from the Spurs.
