The two voices went on for a few seconds until suddenly, without my having to do anything, everything felt really quiet inside of my mind, and all my attention and focus went straight to my breath.

Pick a goal number for today. Put it in your mind. And kick the living shit out of it.
Perseverance.
The ability to keep moving forward.
Looking limitations dead in the eye and saying;
"You don't pertain to me."
