I know if I persist it will pay back in dividends and it always does. What starts to happen is like exercise, the pain goes away. It starts to get easier and the weight starts to get lighter and people start to notice a difference in you and you start to notice a difference in yourself.

You find that your random moments when you're in the flow are no longer random and you can control them. Other people notice the difference.
