Winners make a habit of moving on from any setbacks that come their way, as they inevitably will.
As a discipline, they choose forward motion on all levels, developing a daily practice for their mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual game.
Across all fields and industries — from the Arts to Medicine to Business to Sports — the names we all recognize figured out at one point that greatness for them was not optional.
Each picked something and went to work.
In doing so…
The Academy Award winning filmmaker left a lot of footage on the cutting room floor.
The National Book Award winner tossed a lot of pages into the trash bin.
The Nobel Peace Prize winner shed a lot of tears in the face of cruelty, famine, and war.
In light of their accolades, every one of them admits they simply showed up each day and did what they were going to do anyway.
Every day, we have a choice about whether or not we approach what we do as a discipline, or as something that’s passing the time as we wait for that magical moment to arrive.
Unless we’ve suited up and taken the field despite any cuts or bruises or throbbing pain, it never will.
