When I was young and wanted to go back to school, I worked two full-time jobs, approximately 80 hours a week. Four days a week I got four hours of sleep, not four hours in a row, four hours total. If you want something bad enough, you’ll make the necessary effort to obtain it.

It took just under a year to accumulate enough funds to quit work for two years and finish my schooling.

Instead of viewing this as a sacrifice I viewed it as a gift. A chance to push my physical and psychological limits and learn what happens.

30 years later the schooling is rather inconsequential, but the life experience of what it took to become unstoppable, the personal growth… I use that every day.
