Heads up! This might sting.

Most people don’t try to be great. They try to be safe. Even less try to be elite. They try to be accepted. Why is that important for you to know?

Unwillingness by those who refuse to genuinely try means more opportunity for those who do. But first you have to get over the false belief that everyone is trying their best because they’re not.

If everyone tried their best, they’d realize they’re capable of so much more. They’re mostly trying until they get uncomfortable, bored, scared, or criticized. That’s what stops most people from being great or elite.

Will it stop you?

Discipline is the shortcut. Do the work.
