War

Battle Fatigue is very real.

You'll never be more tired than at the last minute of the last round of a world champion fight.

You'll never be more tired than the last month of the last year of the war.

You're SUPPOSED to feel tired and exhausted.

This is a sign of BATTLE.

It's a sign of WORK and STRUGGLE.

You will not always feel alive and invigorated in the fight.

War is short bursts of adrenaline as you route the enemy,

Burst of frenzy and joy when you're actively crushing the opponent,

Followed by long periods of grueling labor, sleepless nights and iron discipline.

You are MEANT to wake up and feel exhausted.

It's a sign that you're pushing with all your might.

Battle Fatigue is a sign of Battle.

A universal in War.

In your war against mediocrity, in your war to seize greatness,

Battle Fatigue is certain.

The best soldiers do what needs to be done flawlessly ANYWAY.

Despite being exhausted, can you still throw that punch at FULL power at FULL speed

Can you force all your chi into that final KO opening that presented itself in the last round

How good are you on your worst day

How good are you when you're injured

What do you get done when you're sick

Everyone at War is tired.

It's the default state.

Get used to it.

All the best fighters are.

Battle Fatigue is guaranteed in War.

Force yourself to perform regardless.

Or stay a loser.

Your choice.
