Growing up, my dad and I shared a love for boxing.
One of the biggest legendary boxers that I loved to watch was Iron Mike Tyson.
And one of my favorite Mike Tyson memories isn’t actually about him but about his match against the great James “Buster” Douglas.
If you’re not familiar with that match EVERYONE thought Tyson would tear Douglas apart.
In fact, The odds were stacked 42 to 1 against Douglas.
But in the 10th round, Douglas landed a hook that sent Tyson to the canvas.
Against all odds – Douglas came out on top.
After it was all said and done Douglas was asked about his training, his strategy, and his mindset, he simply said, “I came in here to do what I was supposed to do.”
But what people didn’t know was that just 23 days before Douglas had lost his mother. In his last conversation with his mom, she had no doubt in her mind that he was going to win that fight.
If that wasn’t already a punch in the gut – he got delivered another blow when his best friend got diagnosed with a deadly disease.
That night Douglas stepped into that ring with more than victory on his mind. He had something to prove, something worth fighting for, and a heart full of determination.
You see, everyone aspires to be great…to make something more out of their life.
But far too often, we set our expectations too low.
We think greatness is meant for others.
Maybe it’s a teacher who told us we weren’t good enough…
An abusive partner who said we’d never amount to anything…
Or a parent who said success wasn’t for us…
Regardless of the opinions of others, I’m here to tell you that if a man like Douglas can overcome the “impossible”…
So can you.
And if an immigrant like me who went from Section 8 housing to owning multiple properties can prove people wrong…
So can you.
I share this with you because regardless of what others say about you…
No one can measure the heart and determination that you have.
So the next time that you feel like you can’t do the “impossible”…
Remember that greatness is meant for you.
Always in your corner,
