What Do We All Start Out With?

"We all start out with no discipline, no patience, no perseverance, no determination. People say, "You have talent." No, the gift is to realize that we all start out even. Whether we messed up or put our best foot forward, with these four qualities, we take care of our mental, physical, and spiritual health each day. Am I the best in the world? No. The question is: Am I the best I can be?"
