HOW TO KNOW IF YOU ARE REALLY GIVING YOUR BEST

1. You don't hear what people say anymore. You don't hear your coach, you don't hear the critics, you don't hear the crowd, you don't hear the public's opinions, basically you only hear what your heart is saying and you don't mind if they tell you that you're wrong. You know in yourself that you're right, you're starting to become a single minded individual and you don't mind getting embarrassed.

2. You are pushing yourself to the limits. You don't care if you are tired, fatigue doesn't matter to you. You are simply doing what you can do at the moment. You will just rest for a few seconds and then you will push again. You're like a machine, sometimes you are getting slow but in your mind... you are getting faster. You are very happy pushing yourself because you feel that it is an achievement. Anything that you can think of to become successful... you are doing it.

3. You are not reserving an energy. You're all out every second, you don't know pacing, you are using all of your energy and you don't mind if you get over fatigued later because you know you have the willpower to summon that energy again and go back working again. You are not scared of being tired, you knew you have the mental power to keep moving forward even if the going gets tough.

4. You don't care about the time. You don't care if it is already late, you will still work until you get the job done. You don't care if it is 3 am or 4 am, you will just do what you need to do. You don't even care if it is lunch time or dinner, you will keep on working. Your mind turns the switch on easily, you don't even hesitate to do the process, you feel like you have a lot of time but your always on a sense of urgency.

5. You are not looking to finish fast. You are just enjoying the process, you don't care if it will take a very long time to become successful, you are doing it little by little, you are so patient because you know success will just come one day.
