Winning is everything. Because it is. Every day, in everything you do, your wins are waiting for you. They’re everywhere. But they won’t wait forever. Stop waiting to be told what you can and can’t do. Stop watching others win while you stand on the sidelines wondering when it’s going to be your turn. Your turn is now. Long-term goals are great… but “long term” isn’t promised to anyone. Your skills and opportunities have an expiration date. If you want something, go get it now. I get so frustrated with those who say they want to win, but show no urgency or drive to actually do it, as if they’ll have unlimited years and opportunities to figure it out. As if it’s just going to happen eventually. To me, a sense of urgency is the ultimate distinction between those who win and those who watch others win.
