Don't imagine for a second that I am preaching softness, peace, harmony or romanticism during a competition. I am a fan of aggressiveness and when I was racing, my killer instinct was my most precious asset. But passion, rage, fire, desire, and intensity have nothing to do with letting your emotions (or frustrations) get the best of you. You want both: intensity and composure.

There are so many great and interesting people who are not like that. That's why, if you meet a person who is on that list, don't make a drama out of it, don't think that person was your last chance at finding a friend, a mentor or a romantic partner. I forgot to include people who say "It's impossible" on that list. When you meet people like that, just say thank you and move on. And yes, if that person is really close to you like a family member or a lover, it will be a bit more difficult but it'll be alright. You will suffer only if you think that you have no choice but to stick with that person. However, if you know that, sooner or later, you're going to move on without that person, you will be just fine.

Of course, you wake up early and of course, you train hard. But this doesn't mean you don't sleep! You can take morning naps, lunch power naps, afternoon naps and you can go to bed early. @kingjames and @rogerfederer once said they sleep 12 hours a day. @usainbolt too. Kenyan runners go to bed at 9 pm. Some of my athletes go to bed at 8:30 am because they wake up at 4:30 am. Every time I tracked my sleep, I realized that nothing good could happen with less than 9 hours of sleep per 24 hours. @kobebryant says he is been waking up at 4:30 am for years. But that doesn’t mean he sleeps 5 hours a day! And even if you cannot really sleep, follow @gwenjorgensen's advice, go to your bed and stay off of your feet. The greatest book I read about sleeping for athletes is: SLEEP by Nick Littlehales @_sportsleepcoach

STEP 1: You decide to quit what you don't love, even if you're scared. You don't wait one second. Of course, you don't quit your job today but just the decision to quit it will bring hope to your heart. I decided to quit my unhappy medical career on a July 31st and I actually worked my last day on a November 20th. Step 1, you decide to quit.STEP 2: You decide to chase what you love, even if things are far from being perfect and even if it looks impossible for anyone. On that July 31st, I decided to chase a job as an English teacher in Japan. Step 2, you decide to chase.STEP 3: You establish a strategy to successfully quit what you don't like and get what you want to chase. You search online. You go places. You ask questions. You meet people. It took me one month to establish a strategy that sounded good to me (for me, it was finding an online certification and working 4 jobs at the same time).STEP 4: You execute nonstop. You don't go out. You don't sleep for as long as necessary. I didn't sleep for 2 months. I remember one day sleeping 60 minutes in 24 hours. After 2 months, I found an English teaching job in Japan and I was safe, I was on the other side. This was the very start.NOTE 1: Sleep is important. I sleep 9 hours a day today. But if you're inspired, you can go for quite some time without sleeping much.NOTE 2: The beginning is exciting. The middle is painful. Yes, grinding and sleep deprivation IS PAINFUL. The end, however, will be beautiful. This is how you change your life.
