It's ok, just be honest

"Of course, if I was committed to the sport I wouldn't live in Utah. One has to go where the sport is practiced by the best, and do it at similar intensity and volume if one wants to become one of the best. Anything less is less. I am so sick of hearing people claim how much they have sacrificed for their so-called passion, be it sport or career or both. Until you've quit your job, your girl/boyfriend/spouse, the city you are comfortable in, or the continent, the language you know, the comfort you are accustomed to ... well, until then you are just messing around and congratulating yourself so don't tell me about sweat and blood and suffering. Physically, in this context, that's so fucking easy. And tiring to hear about. We all need to honestly evaluate where we are on the scale of great/ good/ shitty/ sucks and accept it because one self-delusion always leads to another." -Mark Twight
