My life and my career was not a smooth easy road. I had a lots of ups and downs. I went trough a lot of tough times. After 2012, I fell into a major state of depression. That was probably the hardest fall for me. I didn’t wanna be in a sport anymore. I didn’t wanna be alive anymore. I just never forget being in my bedroom at home and literally sitting there for 3 to 5 days just not wanted to be alive.

I am never somebody who is given up And I didn’t wanna give up in that moment. So for me I thought there was a different road I could go down. I went 5 or 6 straight years without missing a single day. Doesn’t matter a holiday or birthday. If I am sick. This or that. It doesn’t matter. I wanted to make that sacrifice to do something nobody else has ever done.

So for me to go 5 or 6 straight years, that man I had 52 extra days a year. But also in the sports of swimming if you take one day off, It takes you two days to get back to where you were. As where I am getting 6 years straight. So I am getting that much more ahead of them. Getting that much more work.I am in that much better shape. I wasn’t racing anybody else. I was racing myself. I didn’t care what anybody else did. If I went the times I had on my goal sheet I knew that there is not another soul in the planet that could have done the times I had written down.

There were days where I didn’t wanna get out of the bed. There were days where I am sore. I can’t move. I don’t wanna swim. I am tired. I don’t feel well. This that and the other. Sure we all have days like that.

If you really want something and you care about something that much It doesn’t matter if you are not super successful at first time. Because if something you are truly passionate about, you are gonna get up and do it again. Do it again. Do it again. Doesn’t matter how many times you get knocked down. It Doesn’t matter how hard is it to get there. If you really want something there should not be a damn thing in this world that should stand in front of you and accomplishing that goal. And that’s the bottom line.

IF WE PUT OUR MIND TO SOMETHING, WE CAN ACCOMPLISH TRULY EVERYTHING.
