00:00Talent is a spark, but mastery? Mastery is the fire built by hours no one sees. There's no shortcut. Just sweat, silence, and showing up when it would be easier to walk away.
00:15You can be gifted, you can be bright, but if you won't outlast the resistance, you'll never touch your full potential. Because the truth is, excellence isn't born, it's earned. In repetition, in discipline, in those long, quiet stretches where nothing feels like it's working, but you keep going anyway. That's where greatness is carved, not found.
00:39So put in the hours, even when no one's watching, even when the progress is invisible. Because while talent opens the door, it's work that earns you the right to stay in the room. And you, you were never meant to knock softly.
