That’s deep, dude. I’m not exactly sure how to answer this, but I’m sure that a quick chat with the Universe would clear things up.

Darryl, you hit the nail square on the head with this post.Drive, Determination, Focus, Strength and belief; all words associated with greatness, all interdependent on each other. Belief, the key to making everything come together. I had drive, determination, focus and strength, I was also blessed with intelligence and raw athletic ability. What I didn’t have, until recently, was belief, belief that I had the power to do whatever I choose. I was audacious enough to believe that it was the world beating me down. I looked everywhere to find reasons and excuses for my failures, everywhere but inward. I found my belief was being overshadowed by my attitude. An attitude focused on the wrong reality. I realized I had been spending years believing I was an underachiever, and without even trying, my drive, strength and determination followed suit and I was a tremendous success at underachieving. All it took was a little spark to change everything. For me it was riding a bike and building on a sense of accomplishment. I learned to dig deep and tap into resources I never realized I had at my disposal. My attitude changed and I began to believe. Sure, life still beats me around a bit, but I have been practicing for years to deal with those punches and I am well conditioned to receive them. However, a black eye now and then only strengthens my belief and my resolve. I have a long steep path in front of me to reach my dreams, but believing is making them come true. I used to feel life was an endless storm, with no hope of the sun shining, now I believe in the words of Bengali polymath Rabindranath Tagore, ”Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky”.Great job, once again.Happy Riding

“Believe it…..it’s true.”Why is it true? How do you know it is true? These are things I’d be interested to know…
