I wanted to spell a myth for you. It's the talent myth.

It's the belief that some people were just born with more than others. That some people are naturally gifted in some aren't and that's just the way the cookie crumbles and

whatever you're gonna be is essentially determined by how you started. That your DNA is exactly your destiny.

I'm here to tell you right now. That's bullshit.

It's just not true. It's not the truth of the way that humans are designed as the species were the ultimate adaptation machine

The very thing that puts us at the top of the pyramid is our ability to adapt. It is the fact that the brain is plastic that it responds to change.

It responds to stressors. It responds to repetition and

repetition is a slave to obsession.

As Conor McGregor said, there's no talent here. This is hard work. This is an obsession. You could be anyone if you put in the time.

That's one of the greatest athletes of our time telling you that he's not the result of

genetics. He's not the result of natural gifts. He hasn't been bestowed something by God.

He has shown up day after day in the most mundane of conditions on the cold days, on the hot days

He put in the work because he was obsessed with what he could become and that repetition that you need to actually gain a skill

Follows that obsession. So in you right now right now today

You want to start building that obsession. You want to look at it like an ember that can become a raging fire

But it needs your time and attention. It needs your time and attention. You've got to take that

That interest. You've got to take that spark of desire and you've got to fan the flames

You've got to turn it into that obsession and from that obsession if you put in the work if you do the things day in and day out

The back breaking work pushing through the pain fighting through feeling like an idiot fighting through embarrassment getting up

Brushing yourself off doing it again practicing putting yourself at somebody's feet and asking

What could I have done better?

Not look at the things you're doing well, but look at the things you're doing wrong
