Softball Olympic Gold Medalist Kamalani challenges you to pick which hard you are willing to endure for.
“To me it felt like breathing — the effort to achieve my dreams was worth what it took to endure to get there.” Giving up is hard, pushing through is hard — we just pick which hard. Everything is hard - what is the dream worth enduring hardship for? What is worth the learning curves and the hardship and the journey even if nothing is promised in the end? “No one can outlearn, outwork or outperform me because a lot of people don’t put in their 100%—That alone can get you pretty far.”
