What excites you? Is it loud music - rush drive - cinema or a celebration. Is it lights dimming early in the morning or the stream dodging stones. What is it that really excites you? Is it hope to a future better self or an idea that can make you rich. What makes you feel liberated and proud?

Today is the day to make things happen your way. Today is officially the day when we had a month long training. We managed to not smoke at all. We got up early. We did things normally we ourselves can't expect out of us. Tired or not — we lifted our standard and stood near it. It is ok, we felt down and missed few prayers or fasts, some days. But overall, we did a great job. We underwent an entire life changing cycle.

What would a professional do? Or a person who feels the constant burden yet runs the last mile. What would an Olympian do? He is tired to his guts. Does not want to walk any farther. Just got over the championship. Next is 4 years away. What would a person destined to win the next olympics do? He will show up every damn moment until the next olympics and win. He will make it turn into an excitement and walk his way to the glory. He will laugh today, cheer his friends up and yet when work happens in eve — he will show up.
