“IS THERE NO ONE ELSE?” – Achilles
Like in Homer’s Illiad, there will be moments where you will feel an almost tangible sense if invincibility. It’s not arrogance, but a deep-seated knowing that in this particular arena, at this precise moment, you stand alone at the summit. It’s the culmination of relentless practice, unwavering focus, and perhaps a sprinkle of something intangible that sets you apart. It’s a feeling that echoes in the silence after a flawless performance, in the stunned expressions of those who witness your dominance, and sometimes, in the quiet question that arises within: Is there no one else?
