Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard. Nothing worth having ever came easy.
Put in the work even when you don't want to. Cold and rainy out? Go for a run anyway. Still dark when your alarm goes off? Get up and get after it.
Hold yourself to a high standard and surround yourself with people who strive to be their best.
This is you vs. you and no one else. Sharpen your spear to be better than you were yesterday.
