I Am Normal

#ThoughtsOnMyHead

The hardest thing about this whole pursuit is that you have to go again and you have to go again. There is no rest. Sometimes I just get tired and exhausted. I just want a break. I just want time off. I just want to be lazy. I just want to watch series.

That is when I realize that I am not LeBron James. I wonder how they do it, the greats. To keep going, and going, and just be relentless. To be fair the greats started young. It was engraved in them from an early age.

I am a normal, lazy person trying to be great. That is not a good combination because somehow, someway, you are in some sort of halfway house — too ambitious to do nothing, too lazy to follow through on the demonic consistency required to be truly great in any vocation or career.

Whether it be in sports, business or art, in order to be great, you have to be maniacal with an abnormal focus and discipline. I am very normal.
