What is the secret of achieving goals?
People always ask if it's about genetics or about potential... When it comes down to it success has nothing to do with potential. It's all about the perseverance of somebody, that will override any endeavor.
That's what champions do, they show up to the event every single day. They see failure as a learning curve, they welcome failure. You learn more from failure than you ever will from success. So showing up and get knocked on your butt to finally test one to stand back up, is going to be the overriding factor that makes a difference.
When you are doing those things the small things in life add up to those big monumental things. When I say the small things it's a character building block, that your name means something. You hold value to your name. If you drop trash on the ground you pick it up, that's the responsibility - you hold value to yourself. When you shake someone's hand you look them in the eye giving firm handshake because you are for a purpose.
Everything you do, you do to the best of your ability. It doesn't matter what you're doing. It's the fact that you're doing something that means something to you. That is going to build a legacy because the title out there doesn't mean anything. You win the title fine, that title will not get you another title. What you're trying to build is your legacy. Footprints behind you. Motivation left for someone else to follow. Legacy is build daily through the character, the willpower, the code of conduct within somebody. And that is perseverance, showing up every single day. That will always achieve the goal. It doesn't matter what you are born with, it doesn't matter the potential, how much money you have - all that can be attained if you show up and you are willing to risk failure for success.
