The downfall of talented people

Talent is not a magic ticket. Opportunity is not a free path. Many talented people have opportunity but struggle with the execution required to earn what they want. 

Some give in to distractions too quickly, while others fail to focus at all. Some accept low standards, get overwhelmed, or lack emotional resilience. Some want their talent to deliver results without struggling, working hard, or enduring adversity.

Discipline's job is to turn talent into excellence and opportunity into success. Talent and opportunity are only a foundation. What you build on them is up to the skills you develop and how well you execute them.

Discipline is the bridge between talent and execution, between potential and performance, between wanting and earning.

The time is now. Do the work
