\u00a0<\/p>\n
It feels good.<\/p>\n
It is rejuvenating.<\/p>\n
It is awesome.<\/p>\n
It is lovely.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I am in the spotlight.<\/p>\n
I am appreciated.<\/p>\n
I am a celebrity.<\/p>\n
I am an object of admiration.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I smile.<\/p>\n
I laugh.<\/p>\n
I soar.<\/p>\n
I strut.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now stop!<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I have smelled the roses.<\/p>\n
I have enjoyed the recognition.<\/p>\n
I have the trophy, it is lovely. I appreciate it.<\/p>\n
I have your attention, and I don’t take it for granted.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now stop!<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I sell my trophy.<\/p>\n
I get off the stage.<\/p>\n
I withdraw from the public eye.<\/p>\n
I put on anonymity.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Why do I efface my achievements?<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I set aside my accomplishments, for my life is in the grind.<\/p>\n
I grow in the repetitive drudgery of sharpening my skill.<\/p>\n
Notoriety, glory, and fame are but for a moment.<\/p>\n
My real life is out of the spotlight, that is where I blossom.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I work; I push myself daily.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My glory is in the grind.<\/p>\n
I am not mighty in the ring.<\/p>\n
I am a fierce warrior in the grind.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I toil.<\/p>\n
I sweat.<\/p>\n
I labour.<\/p>\n
I stretch.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I push myself.<\/p>\n
I strive to improve my skills.<\/p>\n
I work my guts out daily.<\/p>\n
It is my life, and I have come to love it.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Step by step, I become a better version of myself than I was yesterday.<\/p>\n
So, I grind and grow!<\/p>\n
