speed kills. elite ballers don't want their time wasted. work fast and break shit, then go back and fix it if needed.

one common trait I find in high achieving individuals is urgency. it looks almost like impatience until you understand it is closer to reverence, a deep refusal to waste the one thing they can’t buy more of. the alarm goes and they rise. the message is answered while it is still warm. the small task is done before it can find a shelf to hide on. they commit and move in a single motion. an idea sparks and they chase it that day, before the world talks them out of it. they run at their own lives like something is at stake, because they have decided something is.

you must believe you are special and then go so hard, for so long, with such violent refusal to accept any other ending, that reality itself starts running out of ways to tell you no. you must wage a war daily against the ordinary outcome, until the belief you invented out of nothing in a room by yourself has been hammered into the world so many times that it stops being a claim and becomes reality.
English
I have long suspected that the whole of a good life is hidden on the far side of the things we least want to do, and that this is not cruelty but mercy, a design that keeps the extraordinary reserved for the few willing to suffer briefly for it. if the great things were easy, they would be common, and being common they would be worthless. the discomfort is what protects their value. it is the moat around everything worth having, and the crowd stands at the water's edge calling it impossible while the rare few simply get wet.

I feel like young guns like @josbjohnson + @dantefofante are carrying on my legacy of short motivational posts

I think half the men wandering around lost and anxious and unsure of their purpose are just under trained animals whose bodies have gone quiet from disuse. the vitality that used to run through them has nowhere to go, so it curdles into worry. I have been that man. I know the fog. and what pulled me out was never more thinking - it was sweat and effort and lungs that burned. the thinking only ever dug the hole deeper.

I am not disgusted by failure. failure is honorable. failure means a man reached for something beyond his grasp and came up short, and the reach alone places him above the crowd. what disgusts me is the refusal to reach. the decision to want less so that less comes easier. the quiet settling that everyone has agreed to call being realistic. I watch capable people aim deliberately low and defend it with a straight face, and underneath the defense is always the same thing. a person who found their own potential too heavy and set it down.
English
what are you resting for? nobody hands out medals for the energy you brought to the grave. get up. there is too much in you to sit on. you were built to be emptied, to give everything you have to the work and the dream and the people and the life, and to reach the end scraped clean, with nothing left over, having left it all out there. rest when it is done. right now it’s not done. right now you are still full. empty the tank.

@josbjohnson and you might just be the reason they realise excellence is still possible in this world and take you as idol in the inner recesses of their mind invoking your image whenever they set out to do something daring.
English
let them watch you burn at the same brightness for years and slowly lose their minds trying to understand it. they were built to fade and they assumed you were too. and every year you do not fade, the confusion deepens, until they stop asking when you will slow down and start asking what the hell is wrong with you that you never do. but the truth is, you just decided, a long time ago, that stopping was not on the table.
