There’s No “G” In Work Ethic
We’ve all thought it, we’ve all heard it, and we’ve probably all said it.
“I wish I had your genetics!”
“Their genetics are crazy!”
“It’s just all about good genetics”
Now we aren’t discrediting the humongous role genetics play in contributing to an individual’s body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, V02 max, immune system, health status, and the like. However, we strongly encourage you to not mistake genetics for work ethic.
Unlike genetics, having a strong, relentless, and unbeatable work ethic is not something that is inherited. Rather, building a work ethic of this caliber is something that requires immense passion, consistency, self-belief, skill, continuous education, the ability to take constructive criticism and refine your craft, and the determination to succeed at all costs.
Together, this can be energetically channeled into following a strategic plan which guarantees to satisfy the outcome of achieving initial goals, before new goals are set and an individual works to climb higher.
Genetics don’t increase your productivity or time management skills, they don’t walk you to the gym in the rain, they don’t make you show up to lectures and study for exams, they don’t make you purchase from farmers markets instead of takeaway shops, they don’t make you confident in job interviews, they won’t guarantee you financial, athletic, or relationship excess.
THAT’S ALL YOU – and it takes years of DAMN.HARD.WORK.
This is a reminder that if you truly want to give someone a compliment on their personal success – credit their WORK, not their genetics.
