Personally, in some cases and scenarios I have received a lot of blames, insult, abuse and countless backslashes from some individual when I try to be factual that the path which an individual would trend to success is unarguably filled inconvenience and countless pain which calls for the fact that an individual who wants to be successful must be mentally ready, physically fit and emotionally prepared. The titled of this post which is "No pain No Gain" is a motto adopted from a martial art called Taekwondo, a friend and a mentor @moremoney28 is taekwondo martial artist and can bear witness to this fact.
Factually, the rationale behind this motto by the taekwondo martial artist rooted their digression as regards the reality of life which affirms the fact that the result of success which will be seen or observed within a short period of time is as a result of many years of diligence, consistence, focus, fearlessness, discipline and a few to mention.
Although, the phrase "No pain, No gain" is a maxim used in athletics which is associated with physical exercise, individual growth and the idea that an individual can never be perfect athlete with passing through discomfort and inconvenience and that the result of being a professional or an expert are as a result of donkeys years of pain endurance and a consistent growth and development from being an amateur to professionalism but the same phrase and the philosophy behind it can still be adopted and applied to our life tragedy, activities and pursuit. The great and famous athlete known as Usain bolt is said to have confessed that the 100m race which he completed within 9.58 seconds is as a result of two years consistent training.
Many individuals mostly adult or youth who watch some successful individuals think their journey to success is an easy journey and also think they have never pass through any pain in their journey.
Nature has wired two opposite phenomena together and these two phenomena are two inseparable twins. The two phenomena are the positive and the negative side of nature and life.
Therefore, every individual who wants to trail the path of success should take note of this fact.
The phrase or the title of this write-up i.e. "No pain, No gain" is a motivational slogan or sentence which is sending a factual message that achievement of success can only be realized through unquantifiable effort, determination, consistence and bravery to overcome challenges. It also encapsulates the fact that in achieving a task or a goal, endurance of pain and inconveniences can not be sidelined. Life is a race, with each day presenting a new decision, and every night offering a time for reflection and adoption of strategic plans to use so as to commence the race of the following day.
Oh humble reader get ready to grab your baton for the marathon race of life, set your time bound to complete the race and be fully ready for competition but bear it in mind that while competing with others their may be downfall but never be ashamed to rise. There is a price every soul must pay for success and the price is inconvenience or discomfort in which dodging them may result to dodging success. Lastly an indian philosopher,Raj shamani said and i quote "Growth is uncomfortable but being uncomfortable is the only way to grow".
