Nobody likes to go through hardships and the vast majority of us would avoid any at all rather than have to endure one. Yet we don’t always have a choice so it’s important to know how to not only survive but even rise higher afterward.

In January I wrote about how last year’s music for League of Legends’ World Championship motivated me to rise and push through hardships.

This year’s song, called “Phoenix”, has a strong message again: the importance of conquering oneself.

“What are you willing to lose?”

This first line of the song pushes us to remember how much we want something. How crucial it is for us. This goes back to the idea of having a strong Why.

If the importance of your goal is above all else, then you can endure hardships much more easily, or at least with a positive mindset.

‘A million voices in your head that whisper “Stop, now”’

We are in our thoughts constantly. Sometimes willingly, sometimes not. Either way, this means the person we listen to the most is in reality ourself. Not other people.
