“Champions aren’t made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them­­ – a desire, a dream, a vision.” – Muhammad Ali. It’s what you want most of all in this life that makes you outshine the rest of the people that are working towards the same goal or outcome. They might work at it; if they don’t dream of or desire it, that vision you're working towards is only motion with no emotion. The emotions behind those actions make it personal, leading to the commitment to be far greater.
