It takes what it takes

​​

 

When I look at successful athletes, artists and entrepreneurs. I see a common thread woven through their DNA. They are willing to do whatever it takes to make their dreams a reality. They make sacrifices. They limit their vices. If they have to run through a brick wall to get there they’re prepared to do it. No matter how thick. They stay devoted to their passion and craft, knowing it’s what they were born to do. They feel it in their bones. That bass booming through their headphones. Putting in 100% effort. Telling excuses to F off. It’s time to level up!

 

It takes what it takes. Whatever it takes

Getting back up. Shaking off the mistakes

A “Can do” attitude eliminates mental waste while making greatness

It takes what it takes. Whatever it takes

(x3)

 

It’s sharpening those skills. Running those same old drills

Knowing the grunt work helps to pay the bills

Keeping us in top shape. On top of our game

Taking better care of ourselves to help alleviate the pain. Prevent strains

It’s all that work we keep putting in behind the scenes 

That helps us to live out our mission. Envisioning and feeling it

Keep planting seeds of desire while the rain and sunshine do their thing

Until life is in full bloom
 

It takes what it takes. Whatever it takes

Getting back up. Shaking off the mistakes

A “Can do” attitude eliminates mental waste while making greatness

It takes what it takes. Whatever it takes

(x3)

 

It takes sticking to the plan of attack

Since we are only as relevant as our last at bat

Forget about the score and focus on the next play

Here in the now, where it’s time to elevate and step it up

Put our own discipline to the test

Nutrition. Conditioning. Getting enough rest

Everyone can do it. We’re designed to Shine

When we tap into the infinite potential of our limitless minds

Shift the thinking from negative to neutral

Expect success when the feeling is mutual

We’re at our best when we stay committed, even when it gets tough

Dividends paid for sticking with it. To keep stacking those wins up

 

It takes what it takes. Whatever it takes

Getting back up. Shaking off the mistakes

A “Can do” attitude eliminates mental waste while making greatness

It takes what it takes. Whatever it takes

(x3)

 

It takes what it takes. Whatever it takes

(x8)

Whatever it takes

Life's a journey. Level up. Enjoy the ride!
