“If you haven't read hundreds of books, you are functionally illiterate, and you will be incompetent, because your personal experiences alone aren't broad enough to sustain you.”
— James N. Mattis
My favorite line from Atomic Habits has been living in my head rent-free:
“It doesn’t make sense to continue wanting something if you’re not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don’t want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”

Most of you will never know what it feels like to pour everything you are into something… and still come up short.
You’d rather stay in the stands, mock and laugh at the man who risked it all.
If you don’t have the courage to chase greatness, you’ll never understand the cost of it.
