What is Victory?

Making the Journey

In this episode, Rob takes us through what inspires a journey and how the challenges shape the ultimate success.

It is also revealed that we will soon be able to listen to an interview with a young footballer who is realising his dreams as a footballer following a journey that has involved overcoming considerable challenges.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Levels of success take work and effort, if you are doing something you love you will want to get better. We all need to find the thing that we are passionate about. The thing that when we engage with it we get that ‘I was born to do this' feeling.

• In order to get great at something, we have to do great work. It requires that we focus and practise in that zone where we are stretching ourselves.

• We all start with a vision, hope or dream and we believe.

• We don't know what we will face on the journey towards our dream but it's how we deal with that adversity and how we face those challenges.

• The challenges are there to help us see contrast and grow positively towards what we want to achieve.

• No matter what it is you're doing or how things are going, take a step out to gain some perspective and see that it's a journey and within the journey, there is no right and wrong because until we personally give up there is no endpoint.

• If we make the decision to take to one more step whether it's today or tomorrow the journey goes on.

BEST MOMENTS

‘It's actually completing the journey that is the victory'

‘Full effort equals full victory'

‘We have to find what it is that we love'

‘Success is giving everything you've got and letting the results take care of themselves'

‘If we believe that we can try something else, none of us knows what the outcome will be'
