Success is not so much a function of intelligence or natural ability, but rather of commitment to the right disciplines.
Patrick Lencioni
Even if you’re smart and gifted with natural abilities, you still need to focus on the right areas if you want to see success. It’s incredibly common for naturally gifted people to see other, less-gifted people surpass them through hard work, laser-like focus, and relentless determination to constantly improve.
Think about where you’re putting your focus and about what you’re truly committed to. Sometimes, just a small adjustment in focus can change your entire trajectory.
