I never give up, despite all the hurt and pain. The only way for me to truly gain is for me to keep getting up, dusting off my knees, and getting back in the race. This song encourages me to do just that. Never being discouraged by the negativity, continuing to go forward despite nay Sayers. In order to gain, I continue working on myself to be a better person than I was the day before. Putting in the effort gets results, The competition isn't everyone around me, it's within myself. Procrastination, nurturing bad behavior, the knowledge I neglect, and my inflated ego all get in the way of my ability to succeed. Being better than I was the day before is my goal for the day every day. Confidence can go out the window if I do not stay focused. Keeping a positive mindset is the key, for without it, I won't succeed, for mindset is everything. Staying humble isn't as easy as it sounds, but it is worth every effort to do so, in order for me to succeed.
