I’m prepping to vanish for a few days over the weekend, so I’m gonna leave you with another little piece you might find useful…
If you haven’t gotten where you need to be. Or you’re always seeing people overtake you.
Don’t let that stop you from outworking them. Our success happens when it happens.
Sometimes it’s faster than others. Sometimes it’s not.
But you have to be willing to work.
I mean put your nose down and do the work.
It’s all mental masturbation if you keep comparing yourself to others.
The thing you CAN control…
It’s your own work ethic. You show up. You do the work. Repeat until your fingers start to bleed.
Nobody. And I mean absolutely nobody, can stop you from outworking them. They can’t break into your house and tie you to your bed. They can’t force feed you Netflix. They can’t superglue your laptop shut.
The only person who can stop you from putting in the hours is the jackass in the mirror.
So focus on what you can control.
Your output.
Your consistency.
Your willingness to keep going when it sucks.
Everything else is just noise designed to keep you stuck in the comparison trap.
Stephen Walker.
