Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on consistency being a muscle you can grow, what discipline is, and why you can't only have it in times of prosperity:
💪 Consistency isn’t a trait you’re born with, it’s a muscle you build. Every time you follow through when it’s inconvenient, you add another rep. The strength doesn't show up until at some point in the future, but it’s earned in the now.
😁 Anyone can be consistent in times of prosperity. The real separator is doing the work when motivation disappears. That’s where identity is truly formed, you find out who you are, not in the spotlight, but in the resistance.
📌 Discipline is doing what matters most when you least feel like acting on it. If you only rely on consistency in good times, it becomes a crutch. If you train it in hard times, it becomes a competitive advantage.
Champions aren’t determined by flashes of greatness, but by how RARELY they drift below their standard of success.
They don’t use the consistency muscle in a reactionary way, instead they train it daily so the habit of success has somewhere to live. 🏠
Been at ESPN a long time - this one was an all timer. Before social media, it was as viral as a story can be. I watched it on a tape in the news room. I couldn’t stop watching his teammates.
Apparently, @SouthwestAir has a $200 bag fee (each way) that they did not previously enforce, so guess who got hit with that surprise charge this morning ? How bout when you change your enforcement policy, you let your loyal customers know about it before hand?
From @1057TheFan last night, @theNFLchick and I caught up with former Terp @REALSETHALLEN, who transferred to VT to play for Buzz Williams. He explains why Williams' personality IS a fit in in this area...
I do not share much of my personal life on social media but today is gonna be different. If you are the praying type please lift up my wife Lindsey. She has brain cancer and surgery is Wednesday at Duke. So thankful to serve a loving God that meets us in our struggles!
