Anything is Possible with Hard Work and Perseverance

You’ve probably heard of the quote ‘with hard work, anything is possible,’ but how true is this?

Turns out, it’s incredibly correct. Though many inspiring Olympians prove this to be true, my story is one of them. I’m Akwasi Frimpong, Ghana’s first skeleton Olympian who became the Hope of a Billion with hard work and perseverance.

There was a time when all I had were my dreams. I hadn’t started running until I was 15, but I didn’t stop. In fact, I spent years progressing my athletic career and braved whatever obstacles life threw my way.

My hard work resulted in earning the title of the first skeleton athlete from Africa in a race sanctioned by the USA Bobsled and Skeleton Federation. It also got me a dozen medals in prestigious international sports events. Moreover, it allowed me to inspire a new generation of aspiring athletes and underdogs to never give up on their dreams.

Understand Your Purpose

Success requires intense dedication and grueling hard work. However, it all starts with knowing your purpose. That’s because knowing what you want enables you to become dedicated to the cause. Most people can only tackle and propel forward in the face of challenges when they truly wish for something to come true.

Many inspiring Olympians wake up every day knowing they have a tough day ahead. They often double down with pain at the end but keep pushing forward. This is because they’re dedicated to their purpose.

I found my purpose in representing my continent and underdog athletes across the globe. This helped me face any kind of challenge. So ask yourself, what is your purpose?

Being Uncomfortable Makes You Comfortable

It’s vital you get used to the idea of being uncomfortable early on. That’s because you’re unlikely to receive results if you’re not willing to bear the pain. This is what separates those who succeed and those who don’t. Many inspiring Olympians, including myself, overcame impossible barriers by being exposed to discomfort.
