Everyone works hard when they want to, when they get quick results, when it's convenient to put forth effort. The best work hard when they don't want to, when it's inconvenient to give it that little extra effort... and that extra effort might be just what they need to place them on top.
Don't sacrifice what you want most for what you want now. Write down what you want most and see it often.
Practice as if its competition, but compete as if its practice.
Trust in your training, and make it happen.
