There's Too Much Out There To Just Be Out There

It's Your Attitude And Your "Perception" CCC

How do you view obstacles, do yo get upset when they come, do they feel like someone or something is vying you to see how quick you'll give up on what your trying to achieve and take another path that will lead you down a completely different road you did not intend to take?

An interview with Michael Phelps was conducted and he spoke on this and how he doesn't let ANYTHING stop him from achieving what he wants to do in the sport of swimming, and we can see how far that has gotten him. I'm pretty sure he has applied this attitude into other aspects of his life as well.

The statement Phelps made was this:

"For me when I watch other sports, when I watch Tiger Woods, when I watch [tennis player] Roger Federer, when I watch [tennis player] Rafael Nadal, the best athletes can compete under any circumstances. No matter what it is, no matter what the pressure, you can always overcome whatever is put in your way."

This was the question:

"What do you think separates the people who are merely gifted from those like you who in this instance, won?"
