You know I’ve heard that quote so many times in my life. “It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog”. And I understood what it meant, but I totally missed that it’s something that could be applied to EVERYTHING in life. Everything.
I’ve been needing some direction in my life; some motivation. I have dreams, things I would like to accomplish one day. I’ve been listening to podcast after podcast and YouTube video after YouTube video. Hearing from successful people and some of the greats in sports and entertainment. People that I admire and look up to in some way or another in my life. Michael Jordan, Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, The Rock, Eric Thomas, Mark Cuban, Dr. Tony Evans, Jake Parker, Jerry Rice, Rick Pitino, my mother, my father. And every single one of those people all has a very different story of how they got to where they got to. They all started differently from different areas. But they all have said the same thing, “work”.
You want to be great at anything. Work. Work at it. Work hard. Work harder than anyone else around you. You don’t have to be the smartest person in the room. You don’t have to be the fastest person on the pitch. You don’t have to be the strongest man on the field. You don’t have to be the quickest person on the court. You just have to be the hardest working person there. The greatest aren’t the greatest because of talent. The greatest outworked everyone else. The greatest woke up earlier to put in that extra work while you were sleeping in. Or maybe they were putting in work late nights while you were partying it up or just slacking off. The greatest failed and then used that failure to help build on their success. The greatest didn’t listen to those little voices of doubt inside of them.
The greatest simply wanted it that much more.
So whatever it is that you want to do in your life, your dreams, your goals your responsibilities. Work hard at it. Be the greatest at it.
Not from here, nor there
