Know the length of your rope and what the consequences are for reaching the end of it. Sometimes, you get to fly up in the air and out into a lake, other times you realize that you’re dangling by your throat a few inches off the ground.
The work is never as hard as it is right before you start it.
Doing what you love will always lead you to success. It just might take a forever and a half to get there.
What drives me is a need to be great. The understanding that I’ll never by great, and that I have never been great is what makes me do the work. The key is to understand your shortcomings and continue to keep on trying. No matter what.
Aspire to greatness, never accept that you’ve achieved it.
