We often make excuses to fit in with why we can't...but why don't we apply that same discrepancy to our ambitions?

This Saturday a man from Liverpool whom I've admired for a while takes a huge leap to...I would say no mans land but it's more like no man gives him a chance land. He's already made a lot of money from the sport, and with the danger he's putting himself in, why's he doing it?

Contrast this leap with the ones regular people make every single day, just like he boxes, they do their job, making regular decisions that justify why progress isn't "feasible" or "affordable". Be it a course that will enable upward movement in a job role, turning a hobby into a job role itself by shadowing the person you've mimicked for years now in terms of how they run their business because that's just "not how you operate" or you're "not that way inclined". 

Tony Bellew doesn't come from a place much different from most of the working class, and has had many trials and tribulations that may well have broken most people. But change the "can't do's" the majority use with the view that there's something innate that needs to be unleashed...the thought of looking at oneself in the mirror will mean less if he doesn't push himself, or find a way. These sound ridiculous to some just on their own. Even more so when you look at the tasks reasoning like this aims to justify. None so much the size of the one he has this Saturday. 

Now I could write war on peace size blogs on his level of determination, courage and ability to devise gameplans, among many other attributes. But, though I wish we could find a formula to practically flip the cynical thinking of the majority around to his ambitious or even crazy thought processes, I can only express gratitude that his body of work due to "The Bomber"s way of doing business and also at how he's put his body on the line to continually do so for our entertainment. 

And if he can do the unthinkable or not this Saturday, he's done himself proud and been an inspiration for us all.
