Fall Down Seven Times Get Up Eight – Naoki Higashid
The high that you get from the consumption of substances is an illusion of success. It is an illusion that you not only have the capability to dream but also the ability to achieve what you dream. It is a promise made by the substance with an expiry date that is only a few hrs. away.
Would you want to take on a little dare from me? Do you have it in you to get this high without the use of these substances? Rather, would you have the courage to take on the challenge of achieving this high from your own mind and from your own hard work? I am talking about something bigger with a more reliable supply than from someones illegal trade. I am talking about you being the source of your eternal high. After all, what is better than your own control on the thing that makes you feel so great.
Stand in front of the mirror and take a good look. What do you think others see in you? Whatever that is pick it out of your brain and flush it down the nearest toilet. Now take another good look at the mirror and imagine an empty canvas, one that is yours and yours only to draw and erase and draw again until you like what you see. Keep drawing and keep erasing, until you see what inspires you to work hard to achieve.
Make the journey of your life in achieving this artwork and let this journey be your eternal high.
Find the strength within you that you have not been taught how to harvest. For the best teacher is non other than your own honest analysis of yourself. Once you have found your strength, help others in finding it.
Be the leader that many need you to be.
– Anant Agnihotri
