Effort
Effort and commitment are the two most important things you can focus on in everything you do. When you focus your energy into completing a task to the very best of your ability, regardless of whether the task is important or not, your reward is at the same level of that effort, providing earned and solid gratification.
The same holds true if you do not go all in. If you put in less than a 100% then you will get a result that is less than the one you were hoping for.
It’s a simple piece of truth.
“Time hardens habits and patterns. Choices lead to paths, and paths to destinations. One cannot know with certainty where the first steps on any path will lead but the truth is that each of us is a product of our decisions. Laziness and entitlement produce a particular outcome. Hard work and dedication produce a particular outcome. Which have you chosen?”
