Persevere Until the Crowd Goes Wild
At this stage of my life, having faced adversity many times in the arena of dreams, I root for underdogs who defy the odds as I connect with their journey.
The bouts with frustration, the lack of support from family and friends, and the heartaches vanish as they seize their moment to prove their worth.
After enduring what feels like an eternity, these individuals emerge as my heroes.
Watch both the competitor who sinks into a mental zone while preparing before a game or the performer, before judges, as they step up to the mic with nerves apparent.
What is their secret? What motivates them as they prepare to pour their hearts and soul into their craft, shedding the weight of countless rejections and hardships? If you don’t know them personally, you have no clue.
Then, with onlookers in awe, they impose their will, persevere, and make the perfect play or hit the perfect note, captivating the present audience and millions of viewers. The crowd erupts.
In the next poignant moment, emotions were unleashed, and tears flowed, theirs and mine. They stood before the judges drained, with nothing left to prove, and I understood their every struggle was worth it.
And like many others at that moment of enlightenment, inspired, I look inward and pledge to persist towards the light at the end of my tunnel until I hit my note and the crowd goes wild.
