We cannot be passive observers.

Have you ever looked at some great icon and wondered how they ever keep up their pace and motivation? How about marveling at the great things they do and constantly be in awe of its awesomeness? Now have you ever compared yourself to them and felt inferior? Have you ever felt compelled to just look at them and feel that you can never do anything but look?

 

Well then you're wrong.

Because even the greatest icons get disappointed sometimes. Even the greatest people become demotivated and tired sometimes. So it is just normal to feel really retarded and lethargic at times.

 

But what sets the great apart from the good is the hunger in them. It's a hunger that says that nothing is ever enough. That nothing is ever perfect. That there is something that can be improved somewhere, some screw that can be tightened somehow. After all, we are imperfect humans, aren't we?

 

Now it is important to acknowledge that we slip and fall, sometimes. But what matters not is whether we have fallen. What matters is that we learn from our mistakes. We can make mistakes, but we have to learn lessons from them. We can make mistakes, but we cannot repeat the same ones. We can be down sometimes, but make sure we keep our focus and get up and bouncing soon.

 

So while we can, and will, feel awed and inferior to other people's greatness at times, we should not be passive observers. In contrast, we should, and must, push ourselves further and harder in order to be like the someone we would like to be like. Don't just sit there and marvel and think that you'll never catch up with them, because, the fact is, you'll never get there sitting down wondering and marveling. Bottom line: GO chase for what you believe to be of the best. No one said it would be easy, they just said that the outcome would be beautiful beyond description.

 

Don't ever give up on a process of achieving THE goal, unless it truly becomes worthless to keep chasing. It is a constant process of improving and working hard! It won't be easy, but it will be worth it! So go get your focus together and start reaching up to the stars, if not you have but yourself to blame.
