Every trophy ends up in a box in the garage. What you became chasing it doesn’t.

Anything you win turns into an object eventually, and objects end up in boxes. What does not end up in a box is the version of you that got built along the way: the discipline, the tolerance for boredom, the way you behave when you are behind. Those travel into things that have nothing to do with the sport or the contest.

When a result you wanted does not arrive, take inventory of what did. Name three things you can do now because of the chase. That is the part nobody can put in a garage.
