The problem is you think you can win without every single detail of your game on point.
There are lots of people with more resources, higher skill, more intelligence, better connections and work harder than you.
It’s not about fair.
It’s about reality.
You can’t hide from that.
You can’t skate past that.
You have to be great.
There are too many people out here doing everything they can to win.
It’s arrogant to think you can compete with them being half ass.
Stop being surprised you didn’t win when the truth is you just weren’t good enough.
Learn what you’re supposed to learn.
Get better.
Go again.
Repeat as many times as it takes.
