Skill
Passion
Effort
According to Angela Duckworth, in her book Grit, skill, passion, and effort are the BIG three pillars when it comes to elite performance. I agree with most of her premise. Effort does count twice. What matters even more?
Your will.
Grappy’s miraculous recovery? It’s not a miracle. He’s a master of his will. He’s willing himself to walk again. Mandy’s last minute goals? No miracle. Not luck. She wills herself forward as if propelled by a motor.
Joeylamb, Reda, Wierema are not more skilled than their Lockton producer partners. Their will? Next to none can match.
Your willpower is a limited resource. Use it wisely. Use it. Know what you want and why it matters. Go after it will all your skill, passion, and double down on effort. Will your way forward. You’ll see. Plato was right. The greatest victory?
Victory over self. Damn.
Live hard. Love harder…
