They're just consistent, day after day, week after week, year after year, boring, boring, boring, boring, boring, and they can outlast everybody.

If you were to watch the most successful people, like watch them build what they've built, you would probably be bored out of your mind because success is rarely built through like intensity and like a beautiful performance.

It's just consistency, brutal consistency to do what nobody else is willing to do for long enough until you get what it is that you want.

Most people like dramatically overestimate what they can accomplish in a month and they underestimate what they can accomplish in 10 years, 15 years.

And so you don't want to rely on motivation.

Like winners don't rely on motivation.

They rely on repetition.

They understand that motivation is just an emotion.

Consistency, showing up every single day.

That's an identity.

I do it because that's who I am.

That's a very different thing than waiting for motivation.

Motivation's like, oh, I'll do it when I feel like it.

Consistency is I will do it no matter what.

I will do it because that's who I am.

And I am so committed to my success that I'm going to do it until I get there.

And winners learn how to create a relationship with the habits that create success.

They don't negotiate with themselves every morning.

They made a decision.

I'm going to do it every single day.
