The Crossover “Stop Whining Start Grinding”
Warm Up
You make a choice and say, come hell or high water
I am going to be this, then you should not be
surprised when you are that.
It should not be something that feels intoxicating
or out of character because you had seen this
moment for so long. You played it in your mind
for so long. When that moment comes, it’s like
of course it’s here because it’s been here the
whole time. It’s been up here the whole time. That’s
what it feels like.
At least for me.
