Many of the world’s greatest athletes didn’t become the best because they had the most outstanding technique, the best genetic predispositions, or the greatest endurance. Nor did they become the best because they had the best coaches, the wealthiest parents, or the ideal environment.

They became the best because they wanted to be the best and became aware of their inner hero’s journey.

Time and again, they imagined who they wanted to be and what they wanted to achieve. They managed to divide their lofty goals into smart intermediate steps, learning to be positively attuned, compassionate, and attentive to themselves. Most importantly, they unconsciously transformed themselves into the best version of themselves. Through a form of magic that is often mistakenly understood as the secret art of harnessing supernatural or external forces. Magic, however, is more the art of discovering and utilizing potentials already latent within oneself, often obscured by one’s own mind.

It’s not about sorcery but the enchantment of inner transformation. Not into an invincible, self-satisfied, and aloof superhuman who towers above all and dislikes themselves, but rather into an inspired person who can marvel, feel alive, and engage with their own mind. A person who stands upright, in mindful connection with themselves and the world.
