‘Excellence is not a destination; it is a process of becoming. The real reward isn’t a bigger deadlift, a faster mile, or a sturdier table. The real reward is that you become a better version of yourself.’- Brad Stulberg

Remember that you are in control of your development. You are in charge of your growth. If you want it to happen, you have to be patient with yourself. Do not expect greatness to happen overnight. It is not going to happen.

If that is what you have been waiting for, that is not going to be. Stop waiting for what is not going to happen. Stop waiting for help. Stop waiting for other people to tell you how to live your life.

If you want to get to where you want to be, you have got to start working on things that have the potential to change your life.

That is how you get better. You don’t get better by talking about what you are going to do. You don’t get better by waiting for other people to tell you what is next. You get better by working better. You achieve greatness by doing great things. You get better by taking baby steps, by focusing on what matters to you.

You don’t get better by talking about getting better. You get to excellence by working hard. If you do not give up, if you don’t forget why you are doing what you are doing, you will get there. Be patient.

‘When we aspire toward intimacy with what matters to us, we overcome alienation and disconnection and feel more at home in the world.’

‘Working on concrete tasks with objective and measurable results is a source of deep satisfaction and helps to keep us humble and grounded.’

‘By building multiple rooms in your identity house, you become less fragile, gain resilience, and bolster yourself against setbacks.’

‘It is important that your goals align with your values.’

‘Worry less about heroic days and more about creating a heroic body of work.’

‘Show up every day and give what you’ve got.’

‘Whenever possible, keep it simple and be wary of hiding behind complexity.’

‘You don’t need to feel good to get going; you need to get going to give yourself a chance to feel good.’

‘The more stress in your life, the more you should try to offset it with rest.’

‘Rest and renewal do not come at the expense of your primary pursuit; they are integral parts of your primary pursuit and your commitment to excellence.’

‘Never prejudge performance.’
