The Sovereign Edge — #1
Words from the winners. Insights for the builders.
The right direction in life is full of painful rejections, you should actually be concerned if the journey doesn't hurt at all. — Orange Book, Twitter
The most productive periods of your life in terms of original ideas and initiatives were probably when you were lonely, broke, with no one to believe in you, and no one to support you, that’s when you grew the most, because you had no other choice: these moments of despair are actually opportunities, you just need to recognize them and use them to your advantage. — Orange Book, Twitter
Be mentally and physically… warriors. Lift heavy weights and run long distances, in the gym and in your mind. Many tasks you’ll be asked to perform early in your career will be tedious. Don’t do what you are asked to do, but what you are capable of doing. Think of it as boot camp before being sent to battle, as there are millions of other warriors fighting to win the same regions of prosperity. Get strong, really strong. You should be able to walk into a room and believe you could overpower, outrun, or outlast every person in the room. — Twitter
Vince Lombrardi’s most famous line is “Winning isn’t the most important thing, it’s the only thing.” That is not the Lombardi line I love. When Lombardi left the Green Bay Packers, where he’d won all of his championships, and went to an also-ran-team, the Redskins, he was loved and feared by players. Larry said, “He came in and made the following short speech: “Every team in the National Football League has the talent necessary to win the championship. It’s simply a matter of what you’re willing to give up.” Then Lombardi looked at them and said, “I expect you to give up everything,” and he left the room. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing. Sure, there is the talent, but there also has to be the will. Give me human will and the intense desire to win and it will trump talent every day of the week. — Julian Guthrie
Note: I love this perspective — truly. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Will your goals and desires into existence by simply refusing to back down. Remember: Working hard eliminates fear and anxiety. And remember too, that: "The life You Want is full of challenges that you Do Not Want." Get down to work.
You don't look like your goals. You look like your habits. Effort never lies. — Twitter
