“Pain is nothing compared to what it feels like to quit. Give everything you got today for tomorrow may never come.”—Dan Gable
Dan Gable quotes are always in season, but, as wrestling season begins, they are particularly inspiring. I feel that Coach Gable always seems to capture the life lessons of the sport. The above quote reminds us to embrace the grind—the challenges which will come in life with persistence and—above all—grattitude (the attitude of gratitude).
Grattitude is not pain-free. It is the recognition that this moment is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. There can be no quitting or letting up until the end. So, give everything you got today—and be grateful.
Be your best today; be better tomorrow.
Carpe momento!
