Memorable Quotes

"Discipline is a byproduct of context. If you know what game you're playing, these things are not a sacrifice, they are a joy."

"You don't have a discipline problem. You don't have a motivation problem. You have a clarity problem. You aren't clear on your context. You aren't clear on your vision."

"Readiness is not your job. God, the universe, whatever your higher power is, determines when you're ready. Don't fall short of what's possible for you because you think you're not ready."
