Willing To Do The Work

When we see somebody who is really good at what they do, it's easy to think to ourselves that it would be nice to be that good.

What we see is only the highlights though.

We don't see the hours, days, months and years of work that went into that person becoming who they are. We don't see what they sacrificed and the level of commitment they had. We don't see the blood, sweat and tears shed throughout those years (or even in the present moment).

We only see the fraction of a percent of what they actually do.

Are some people naturally talented? Absolutely! But that does not mean they don't work their asses off to turn that good talent into great talent.

Is there something you really want? How badly do you want it? Are you willing to put in the work to make it happen? Are you committed? Are you determined to make it happen no matter what?

If you're not willing to put in the work, don't expect to be the greatest.
