You don’t constantly win by accident. There’s a voice in your head, the real one saying, “Get the fuck out of here. You’re nobody. You’ve always been nobody.” To keep going, you have to create another voice. One that says, “You’re better than that.” When the alarm goes off at 4 or 5 in the morning, your mind says, “No.” And you answer should be, “This is what we do.” You’re going to do things you don’t want to do far more often than things you want to do. That’s when it clicks: once your mind knows you’re not going to quit, it starts giving you more. More capacity. More strength. But the moment it realizes you won’t take the path of least resistance, that you’ll stay when it gets hard, that’s when you change.
