day no. 15,808: hustle

"There was a sense of urgency in everything we did; not haste, nor hurry, but hustle." - John Wooden, Wooden on Leadership

Hustle is getting yourself to overcome yourself. It is focusing on what's important and compelling yourself to address it faster than you feel like it. It is faith moving at the speed of its belief. It despises slapdashery. It does not go fast merely to get it over with. It does not go quickly because what it is doing doesn't matter. It goes hard because it matters. It goes fast because it gets a man more quickly to where he wants to go.

Haste is speed without focus;

Hurry is speed without faith;

Hustle is speed without fear.

Haste is going faster than your focus.

Hurry is going faster than your faith.

Hustle is going faster than your flaws.

Haste makes waste.

Worry makes hurry.

Hustle takes muscle.

Bustle takes tussle.
