If you truly want to compete at a high level...
You have to walk a very thin line between confidence and cockiness.
Anyone you see who's great at what they do has an ego and swagger to them.
If you don't believe in yourself...
You're going to get fucking destroyed by the people who do.
But anytime you express supreme confidence in yourself...
The losers of the world are going to perceive you as cocky.
You have to understand this...
The only time cockiness can actually hurt you … is the minute you start to overestimate your skillset.
Take it from someone who's 23 years into this...
I've eaten shit for a long time.
I know what I can do...
...and I like to think I've gotten pretty fucking good.
That's not cockiness...
It's reality.
The results speak for themselves.
Be confident in your abilities…
But stay humble enough to know you still have a lot to learn.
