“Be relentless in pursuit of those goals, especially in the face of obstacles. Along the way, make no excuses and place no blame.”

Ray Bourque

Are you making excuses?

Are you placing blame?

If the answer to either of these is “yes,” you aren’t genuinely relentless.  

Over. Under. Around. Through. That’s what it sometimes takes to accomplish our goals. No excuses. No finger-pointing. That’s relentless.

So, are you relentless?
