Fire in the Belly

by HarryT

 

A fire burns deep within not just in athletes, but within all of us.

The desire for success ignites in every competitor's soul.

I realized early in life that willingness to compete Is key to living a successful life.

My life goals began with dreams, but I soon realized I had to do more than dream.

As a competitor, I understand dreams can only be achieved through planning and taking action.

A competitor always keeps in mind the need to do his best at whatever he seeks to achieve.

In professional life and sporting endeavors, I have learned that success doesn’t come easy

Tension beats in my competitive heart, providing me with the willingness to sacrifice and work hard.

At times, I have suffered disappointment, but thanks to mentors, I learned that failure can

Be very useful because failure often provides clues to future achievements.

A competitor does not let defeat crush his drive for future success.

Life is a competition; I have learned to live a worthy and successful life

One must develop the will to work hard. If failure happens, don’t give up, learn.

I am a competitor in all phases of life. I’m always in the process of becoming.
