Focus on What’s in Your Control

Stay focused on what you can control: actions you take each day, and your emotions

Enjoy the journey

Set goals that are not oriented around the end result (winning), but rather the process of putting in the work to improve

Learn from failure

It’s ok to make mistakes as long as you’re doing your best and learning.

Success is doing your best

True success is attained only through the satisfaction of knowing you did everything within the limits of your ability to become the very best that you are capable of being

Be Patient

In addition to hard work, meaningful accomplishments take time.
