Stop waiting for motivation to arrive

They said it was luck. It wasn't. It was Kobe up at 4am while everyone else was arguing about alarm clocks. Nobody talks about that part because it's boring. There's no highlight reel for a man shooting free throws alone in the dark. And here's what nobody tells you, he wasn't beating other players at 4am. He was beating the version of himself that wanted to stay in bed. That's it. That's the whole secret. You keep waiting for motivation to show up like it's a person. It's not coming. The only thing standing between you and 4am is you.
