The only person you can control is you. So focus on making yourself who you want you to be: Faster. Stronger. Smarter. More humble. Less ego. Discipline your body. Free your mind.

And it is a hard lesson and not everyone gets it. And it is an important lesson. A critical one. It is the thing that allows you to go the extra distance.
