Talent is a gift. Excellence is a choice.
God gave you the gift. The excellence is on you.
Every day you decide what to do with what you were given.
The question isn't whether you're talented.
The question is whether you're choosing excellence with what you've been given.
Kobe Bryant once said:
“I have nothing in common with lazy people who blame others for their lack of success. Great things come from hard work and perseverance. No excuses.”
