DESTROYER MODE<br />

Where does the switch <strong>com</strong>e from? The overdrive. The<br />

berserker mode. The full-on destroyer that will not<br />

stop?<br />

I think this is something that is learned.<br />

And it is a hard lesson and not everyone gets it.<br />

And it is an important lesson.<br />

A critical one.<br />

It is the thing that allows you to go the extra<br />

distance.<br />

To dig a little deeper.<br />

To push a little harder.<br />

To get after it.<br />

And it actually takes two opposing forces to bring it<br />

to life.<br />

It takes both emotion and logic to reach your maximum<br />

potential, to really give everything you have, to go<br />

beyond your limits.<br />

Because emotion and logic will both reach their<br />

limitations.<br />

And when one fails, you need to rely on the other.<br />

When it just doesn’t make any logical sense to go on,<br />

that’s when you use your emotion, your anger, your<br />

frustration, your fear, to push further, to push you<br />

to say one thing: I don’t stop.
