Greatness makes you a legend; being the best makes you an icon. If you want to be great, deliver the unexpected. If you want to be the best, deliver a miracle.
If you can choose between being uncomfortable because you’re overweight and sick, or uncomfortable because you’re sweating at the gym three times a week, why do so many people choose the discomfort that leads to complete physical failure?
born relentless, taught to relent.
Two bulls stand on top of a hill, a father and a son, looking down on a field of cows below. The son can’t wait: “Come on, let’s go, we gotta run down and get some of those cows!” And the father looks at him slowly, wisely, and says, “No, let’s walk down and get all the cows.” Instinct, not impulse.
No shortcuts. You can’t fight the elephants until you’ve wrestled the pigs, messed around in the mud, handled the scrappy, dirty issues that clutter everyday life, so you can be ready for the heavy stuff later.
