PUSH YOURSELF!
by Bert Oliva
Why should you push yourself? Have you ever asked yourself this question?
Here’s why I push myself every day of my life: I believe that when we are born it’s a miracle. So why waste this miracle and just live day-to-day, unremarkable lives? We are all special and God has given us everything we need to make a positive difference in this world, but most of us choose to complain and give up on life way too soon.
I am known for pushing people beyond their limits, so they think. I push because most people quit too early and have no idea what their true limitations are, if any. In the end, they always thank me for pushing. However, in the process or what I call the “journey,” most don’t like it.
I understand their discomfort. I lead by example and am always pushing myself beyond my own limits too. It’s not an easy process, but I really believe that at tough moments, we can choose to give in or give out, but we should never give up on our dream! Never!
There is a quote I read once that went something like this: Most people live till they are in their 70’s but die in their 20’s… I live every single day of my life.
As long as you are alive, you must never give up. If you keep pushing yourself, you will see more that one miracle in your life. And, in the end, we will make a positive difference in the world together.
Live Life,
