As Lionel Messi steps away from international football, his words about keeping sport in perspective carry renewed significance. The Argentina legend once said, ““You can overcome something, if and only if you love something enough,” highlighting the values that extend beyond football and its results.
The statement suggests that willpower alone may not always be enough to sustain someone through prolonged struggle. A deeper emotional connection to what a person is pursuing can provide the motivation to keep going when the journey becomes painful, uncertain or exhausting.
