What would it require?

Determination.

How will the game be elevated without a safety rope or net?

What ever beliefs, emotions, strength…and more you need, you would need it at max capacity.

There is only one result if you fail. And you will have only a few seconds to reflect on that moment, and the rest of your life.

Walking on a thin rope between two high rise buildings.

Symbolised by a monkey walking on rope.

No distractions are entering your mind, you are laser focused on achieving your goal.

You are connected to the rope with your mind and body, you know each step and you know your final destination.

A fly or mosquito trying to find an exit through glass door.

It knows where it wants to go, but, doesn’t realise that there is a barrier blocking its ways.

Even without this knowledge, it is going to try again, and again, and again.

Until it either tastes death or finds an exit — that fly or mosquito doesn’t give up the first time it hits that barrier.

Determination is being that fly or mosquito— not stopping when set backs hit, not stopping when you have tried again, and again. Pushing till you either taste death or find the exit to your success.

Determination is being that monkey on a tight rope with no safety laser focused on the other side, vigilant on each step.
