Blood… Sweat… Tears…
The components of a struggle for success and improvement
Because nothing comes easy…
If it did… everyone would do it
It’s the struggle that separates the strong from the weak
Who can endure the hardship and see it through to the end
Who can fight through all of the pain
Who can come out on top and claim victory.

While the road to victory and success is a long one
With all of the struggles along the way
The only way past is to fight through each one
Now there’s two ways each one can go
You can quit,  because it’s too hard or you feel too weak
Give up and it’s all over
No more struggle, no more pain,
Just walk away.

Or you can try harder,
Because you don’t know the definition of quit
You just suck it up and press on
Sure it hurts, and sometimes you want to quit,
But you don’t, because you know that pain is temporary,
And that quitting is forever,
If you feel too weak, don’t give up,
Train… train hard everyday,
Train your body to be able to tackle that challenge,
Because With enough effort, anything is possible.

You must train, train, train to the rhythm of your goal,
You must have determination as rock hard as a boulder,
The sound of weights ringing as they crash to the floor,
Whether you’re running ten miles, or hoisting a bar upon your shoulder,
The cold, grey, metal plates of iron clatter against one another as they are forced into the air,
You must aspire to be swift like a shooting star,
Use motivation as your preservation, everyday.

You have to convince yourself beyond reason that you can do it,
You have to convince yourself to the point where pain becomes obsolete,
You can always push your body harder,
You always have more energy,
When you feel exhausted,
You’ve only used forty percent,
In order to achieve greatness,
You have to push past that forty percent and keep on going,
Because then… you’re unstoppable.

Pain and struggle,
Weakness and hardship,
Challenges and roadblocks,
Because nothing comes easy,
Blood… sweat… Tears…
