It is not the self-starving and rationing such that one amplifies the perceived pleasure from minuscule accomplishments.
It is not the formulation of excuses to pacify oneself in possession of mediocrity.
It is not the distraction from crucial matters, the feeding on fake sustenance that would ultimately leave one's soul, and one's society, empty.
It is the whetting of the appetite, the creation of capacity, the extension of the conceivable boundary.
It is knowing everything one has achieved, and starving to go beyond, past the unachievable.
It is acknowledging, understanding that one's only obstacle to greatness is oneself, and consciously choosing to overcome it.
It is the drive to change.
