I’m Talking To You
You know what I see when I look around? I see people already making excuses. Already giving up and letting their fire die out. They always say: "Nobody noticed my grind and work last year”. "What's the point of pushing so hard when nobody knows who you are?"
But here's the real question: Were you working for their approval, or were you working for yourself to be own great?
I'll tell you where I stand. Neither time nor a calendar changing doesn't change my hunger. January 1st, June 15th, December 31st – these are just dates on a page. My dedication isn't tied to a new year's resolution or someone else's validation.
You think the greats ones got where they are today because people cheered them on since day one? No. They got there because they kept pushing and staying consistent and didn’t care who was watching. They stayed in the gym when the ones who talk the talk but can’t walk the walk had long gone home. They worked on their craft while others made excuses.
So let them fall off. Let them be the ones with the "lack of recognition" as the rest of their excuses. They can hit the snooze button on their dreams. But that won't be me. And from what I hear how you talking, that won't be you either.
Because true winners – they don't need a new year to go hard. They don't need applause to keep pushing. They have that fire inside them that says "I'm not done yet, keep going."
So while they're busy looking for appreciation, we'll be busy laying our foundation for greatness. Because we're not just chasing a better year – we're chasing a better legacy.
The question isn't whether they notice. The question is: Are you becoming who you're meant to be?
I know my answer. What's yours?
