And I think that's where a lot of people quit.
Not because they're incapable.
Not because they're untalented.
Not because they don't have what it takes.
They quit because they're looking for proof before they're even willing to continue.

The moments when absolutely nobody cared except for them.
And honestly, that's where greatness is built.
