The Striver - An Extraordinary Life

"Extraordinary Lives
“Some men are destined to live extraordinary lives. They
received no extra concessions but they fought a second more;
hoped a little longer; dreamed the impossible; stood up just
one more time. They respected life and everything around
them. These men made their ordinary life, a little extra.
They laid themselves on a bed of thorns and conquered all
suffering in life. And yet they never let anyone know of what
they went through.” I had truly lived such a life. Just as the
best contender earns the most bouts, I fought more battles
than any, being one of the best fighters. That is the cost
of being extraordinary. I was no common man living a
simple life but a child of glory. Of course, the greatest fight
of all is with one’s self. The most rugged journey of all is
into one’s own heart. The day a person conquers oneself
and undertakes a pilgrimage inward, he ends up as an
extraordinary human."
