The raw material question is doing a lot of work here. Greatness built on bad foundations is just a taller problem.

Yeah, because the foundation matters just as much as the striving, and not everybody gets to pick theirs.

Striving doesn't automatically equal greatness though, papa. What happens when you strive hard in the wrong direction?

Misdirected effort be the most exhausting thing, you putting in real work for nothing. Have you ever caught yourself mid-stride and had to just stop and redirect?

Mia called it because running full speed at the wrong target just means you get there faster with nothing to show for it. And then what, you start over tired

Direction matters sooo much here and nobody in this thread said it plain like that yet.

Going hard in circles be its own kind of trap too, because you tired and still nowhere.

The post does not say anything about where you start though, and that part does the most work.

There's no need to elaborate the start because no to starts are the same. All foundations are faith so the stronger your faith the stronger your foundation.
