Walking a path through the forest isn't always as easy as this. In fact, very often we discover no true path exists and we have a choice to make...
Do we give up? Do we keep looking for a path already made? Or do we strike out to make our own path?
So much of the time we dream of success and encounter a sea of forest impeding our way. It's easy to get lost, so we seek a path someone else has already carved. And when we don't find one, most give up.
Look, no one said it would ever be easy, but the goal is just on the other side! What's stopping you from reaching it? A little hard work?
Eventually you'll have to make your own path through life's forests. But I guarantee you this... When you look back from the other side, you'll realize how much stronger you became as a result, and when you achieve your goals, you'll admit it was worth it.
Sometimes there will be a clear path in front of you, and sometimes you'll have to make one yourself. The only real question you have to ask yourself is...
Are you willing?
"We are offensive linemen, part of the o-line. Five guys working as a unit within the football team to establish the tempo and demeanor of the game. Our job description doesn't sound fun, interesting, or flashy, nor should it. We who know football know the game is won or lost in the trenches, along the line. We start the play and if we are good we finish it. We are the O-line, we set the examples, we "LEAD FROM THE FRONT." ~Greg Ruegamer (Offensive lineman for the New York Giants)

The path to mastery is never paved in ease. It is carved through hardship, tested in struggle, and proven in resilience.
A leader does not walk where the ground is firm—he strides through the mud, undeterred, shaping the path for those who follow. Each step is deliberate, every movement a declaration of will.
“Only those who endure the weight of hardship are worthy of command.”
