You couldn’t be more wrong. MJ was one of the hardest workers in the world. He perfected his craft and did things that no one else could do while he was playing. Kobe literally decided to steal all the moves that Jordan had and tried to do it better. It was about the work they put in. The “it” is Doing the work. The mental is knowing that you actually did it when no one else can or would.

You will always be mediocre in life if it can be taught. You are limiting ever person in the world by saying you can’t teach it. Be better. Inspire more people. Stop telling people they won’t be… instead tell me that they could be.
