It feels good.
It is rejuvenating.
It is awesome.
It is lovely.
I am in the spotlight.
I am appreciated.
I am a celebrity.
I am an object of admiration.
I smile.
I laugh.
I soar.
I strut.
Now stop!
I have smelled the roses.
I have enjoyed the recognition.
I have the trophy, it is lovely. I appreciate it.
I have your attention, and I don’t take it for granted.
Now stop!
I sell my trophy.
I get off the stage.
I withdraw from the public eye.
I put on anonymity.
Why do I efface my achievements?
I set aside my accomplishments, for my life is in the grind.
I grow in the repetitive drudgery of sharpening my skill.
Notoriety, glory, and fame are but for a moment.
My real life is out of the spotlight, that is where I blossom.
I work; I push myself daily.
My glory is in the grind.
I am not mighty in the ring.
I am a fierce warrior in the grind.
I toil.
I sweat.
I labour.
I stretch.
I push myself.
I strive to improve my skills.
I work my guts out daily.
It is my life, and I have come to love it.
Step by step, I become a better version of myself than I was yesterday.
So, I grind and grow!
