Getting yo shit together requires a deep level of honesty with yourself, you gotta be able to look at yourself in the mirror & be willing to accept flaws & behavior that's not allowing you to grow , self evaluation is difficult but it's extremely necessary.
Denzel Washington was right, always be thankful for the bad things in life. They open your eyes to see the good things you weren't paying attention to before.
The Messi versus Ronaldo debate ended years ago. The problem is one side cannot accept the verdict.
Ronaldo is one of the greatest athletes ever produced. Disciplined, physical, relentless. A monument to what willpower can build.
But Messi does things that willpower cannot explain. Things that should not be possible at that speed with that many people trying to stop him. Things that make experienced footballers stop and watch with their mouths open.
You do not compare a great man to a genius. They are not the same category.
Ronaldo arrived at greatness. Messi arrived from somewhere else entirely.
Miles ahead is actually underselling it.
