Came across a great article this morning that although had to do with business, can certainly be applied to our daily lives, especially with regard to improvement on the court. Here are a few excerpts from the article that really struck a chord:
“…have the fierce resolve to do whatever it takes to make good into great…”
“…have unwavering faith that you can and will prevail in the end regardless of the difficulties…”
“…what you can be the best in the world at, is what you are deeply passionate about…”
“…disciplined people who engage in disciplined thought and who take disciplined action – succeed…”
“…when confronted with failures, successful people look in the mirror and say, “I am responsible…”
“…value substance over style, integrity over personality, and results over intentions…”
“…pursue with relentless consistency…”
“…nothing great can be accomplished without passion…”
“…great results come about by a series of good decisions…”
“…have the discipline to say “No thank you” to distractions…”
“…remain equally disciplined in good times as in bad times…”
“…understand that building greatness never happens in one fell swoop…”
“…build greatness by a cumulative process—step by step, action by action, day by day, week by week, year by year…”
“…do not succumb to the lazy, undisciplined search for a single silver bullet solution…”
“…no matter how much we achieve, we never feel comfortable or feel that we’ve arrived. We’re obsessively focused on our shortcomings—on what we could do better…”
“…We believe that greatness is not primarily a function of circumstance; it is a first and foremost a function of conscious choice—and discipline. It is up to us…”
