No one achieves excellence without sacrifice.
Instead of going out with friends, you spend time in the practice room or in the law library.
Instead of taking an extra shift at work, you spend time in rehearsal.
Instead of turning completely off on vacation, you stay in touch with your real estate clients.
Instead of sleeping an extra 90 minutes, you wake at 4:30 to write music.
No one achieves excellence without sacrifice, and every choice you make is a choice about the excellence you will achieve. If you make choices that don’t lead towards excellence, don’t be surprised when the outcome isn’t excellent.
