It Is Simple But Not Easy
Never confuse simple and easy.
Simple is easy to understand but hard to execute.
Figuring out the path to success is simple.
Walking the path is hard.
The execution is always the hard part.
The execution requires sacrifice and discipline.
The execution requires precision planning and prioritizing.
The execution requires massive work, insane boredom, and extreme loneliness.
The execution requires you to feel the acute pain of failure
and requires you to grapple a few rounds with self-doubt and discouragement.
Everyone wants to
be a champion.
What they don’t want
is to live the lifestyle and endure the pain that is necessary to become one.
Have you ever
witnessed a wrestler come up with an off-season plan?
Most execute the
plan while their mood is still right, but once the mystique of having a big
goal has worn off and the actual grueling work is required, they fall to the wayside.
Others, the
champions, continue to execute their plan well past the point of being in vogue
to do so.
They do things
others are not willing to do.
That is why they
get what others are not able to get.
Never confuse
simple and easy.
The difference between
simple and easy is the work.
And work is hard.
