Effort and Attitude

What will you do when you begin to feel like you are drowning? Your response matters. If you start to lose faith in yourself, avoid complaining or making excuses. Focus relentlessly on what is within your control: your effort and attitude. Consider John Wooden, who faced bankruptcy and personal challenges for 28 years before winning his first championship. True success is measured by your ability to execute things within your control, reflecting your agency and choice. Pull yourself up, give your best, and be present. While it's important to think of the future, don’t live in it. Remind yourself of your love for the process and let the results take care of themselves.
