Everybody wants to prize, but nobody loves the process. Everybody wants to be a champion, but nobody’s willing to put in the work that it takes to be a champion. Everybody wants to hold up the trophy and say man.
I did it but nobody’s willing to put in the work that it takes to do it. I love the process. I love the thought of working for what I want and I firmly believe, you’re never supposed to wish for it more than you’re willing to work for it, but a lot of people they wish and they’re not willing to work a real man in the dark when Nobody’s watching he putting in work’cause, he loves the process’cause real lions like to hunt.
They love the process just as much as they love the prize and some of y’all just want a score. You don’t like to process championships, aren’t won in the theater or the arena. They’re won in the thousands of hours in the training room and the labs, and the 5 am runs when it’s raining when everyone else is sleeping.
That’s when it’s won I’m here today, I’m an ordinary person, but I focused on my craft. I had a burning desire to be excellent. I love what I do.
It’s my oxygen. It’s my dna 4 in the morning I get up and I’m working on my craft’cause. I love it. It’s the hidden work.
I look at it as like: a rock and a rock. Is you and every day you fight not wanting to get up, and you do anyway, you chip another piece off that f*cking rock and every day you go to train you train hard and harder and harder and harder, and you get up earlier and all these things You do to start forming yourself, you’re chipping another piece of that rock off and before you know it that rock it becomes. The masterpiece in which you f*cking created the heart of a champion is a light switch.
That’s always on. It doesn’t go on and off when someone’s watching it’s constant. It’s how you look at something if your name’s attached to it and you do it right the best of your ability every single time do the job right or don’t do it at all. That’s the same person who has his hand raised on the podium one day same motherf*ckers, it’s what I did in the dark that blew me up.
It is in practicing, it is in lifting weights, it is in resting, it is in eating right. It is in making good decisions that you look a certain way. It is how you practice, it is what you do that makes you look like you look. It is the process of the grind that shapes you and forms you.
The real grind is in the dark. When nobody sees you when nobody knows what you’re doing when you’re putting in those extra reps, when you’re watching those videos and you’re getting inspired when you change your music, it’s the process that makes you sweet. I’m talking about the commitment that says I am going to stay true to what I said.
I would do long after the mood that I’ve said it in has left. You got ta begin with the end in mind, so whatever your dream or your goal, is you got ta wake up every day to it, you got ta go to bed with it. You got ta, read stuff, the music. You listen to everything you do got ta.
Pour into that dream, I understand it is in the process that you get better. I am not phenomenally skilled, but I’m phenomenally willed. My iq may never change, but my will changes.
Every year I get stronger and stronger and more determined why’cause. It’s in my dna, when you dedicate your life, you don’t care anything about the odds when the dream is big enough, the odds, don’t matter giving your all. It can be confusing to mediocre people when they talk sh*t.
You keep grinding work hard in silence and let your success speak for you. You keep talking smack and I’ll keep working. You keep focusing on everything and everyone else and I’ll keep working instead of killing them with kindness, torcher them with f*cking success build the kind of life that says, I told you so without having to say a f*cking word.
While most people stop when they’re tired, I stopped when I’m done the only thing limiting your horizons. Is you.
