Do you remember going to the pool in the summer? Have you ever played the game where you compete with another person or a group of people to see who can hold their breath underwater the longest?
You dunk your head. Maybe, you hold your nose. You get to that point of discomfort. Your lungs begin to burn. You fight to hold your breath for just a few more seconds. Your eyes open to check to see if your competition is still underwater with you.
You hold on.
You fight for a few more seconds…trying your best to emerge from the pool a victor.
