"You can tell what a man is made of by how much pain he can take" - Mike TysonI recently watched an interview on Sky with Mike Tyson being asked which was his best fight he proceeded to respond Donovan "Razor" Ruddock, Tyson was severely punished, but eventually won. Tyson had a perforated eardrum while Ruddock had a broken jaw. When asked what drove him he responded "You have to believe that you are greater than what you actually are"
Tyson's confidence transcended the ring, every aspect of his life exhibited over confidence and excess, traits that guarantee success (but can also lead to a downfall if not focused on the right things). Inevitably pain comes with the territory. The sweeter the victory, the greater the pain.
"Pain is temporal, quitting lasts forever" - Anon
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith who for the joy (Victory) set before him endured (the pain) the cross - Hebrews 12:2Confidence is a prerequisite for victory, life has no room for the timid. Boxers and wrestlers "trash talk" to build their confidence and intimidate the opponent, we need to speak to ourselves, play the part, walk the walk, be the man. Be like Mike Tyson call yourself "The baddest man on the planet." even the Lord God calls those things that be not as though they were (Romans 4:17). Do not confuse arrogance and pride with confidence. Confidence displays refined ability, while pride is a boastful attitude. Be confident
"Believe in yourself and one day they will come a day when others will have no choice but to believe in you."
BE THAT CHAMPION!!!
