The price of excellence is discipline. The cost of mediocrity is disappointment.
Success comes in cans, failure comes in can’ts.
If you plan to excel in big things, you have to develop the habit in the small ones.
Excellence requires discomfort.
Excellence is not a skill, excellence is an attitude.
The difference between a winner and a loser – they both failed, but the winner gets back up and does it again and again until it goes his way.
Success doesn’t know these things about cold or early or tired. It just knows if you showed up or not.
Until our mission becomes our obsession, we’ll be chained to the realm of average.
Commit to becoming breathtakingly great in all you do. And that’s what you’ll become.
Go where no one’s gone and leave a trail of excellence behind you.
Consistency is the DNA of mastery.
Small daily – seemingly insignificant – improvements and innovations lead to staggering achievements over time.
Don’t ask for respect. Earn it.
Challenge serves beautifully to introduce you to your best – and most brilliant – self.
Determine that today you will overcome your self of the day before, tomorrow you will win over those of lesser skill, and later you will win over those of greater skill.
Practice isn’t the thing you do once you’re good. It’s the thing you do that makes you good.
Quality is never an accident. It is always the result of intelligent effort.
If you plan on being anything less than you are capable of being, you will probably be unhappy all the days of your life.
Mastery is not a function of genius or talent. It is a function of time and intense focus applied to a particular field of knowledge.
The time that leads to mastery is dependent on the intensity of our focus.
