The odds of you being alive and reading this post is basically zero. (Reference)
You have already won the biggest and best lottery in the universe. You were born on Earth! If you really believe that you are a miracle then you will do miraculous things.
You will stop doubting yourself be the odd breaker that you are.
Stop waiting until you are ready. As soon as you are ready its already too late.
No one learns by being successful at everything they do. The biggest lessons are learned from the biggest failures. It takes no courage to keep swinging if you win. The real courage comes from keeping on going after you have taken a lose. The greatest teams in sports do not lose twice in a row. They rebound from the loss get better.
The real success is who you become and how you look at yourself.
Greatness is consistency over a long period of time.
In Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance
Talent * Effort = Skill ==========> Skill * Effort = Success/Greatness
If you notice EFFORT counts twice as you are trying to reach the pinnacle of success. Through Effort (practice and repetition) you will get better and the reward will get greater.
This is how you and everyone else operates. If you are willing to sacrifice short term pain for long term pleasure then you will be successful.
What does it feel like to be successful?
Do you know this feeling well or has it been missing lately?
Either way, do something that makes you feel successful. Embrace the feeling and bask in it. Anchor this feeling deep within you.
Repeat the process that made you feel successful and keep raising the bar. Stretch and grow and the feeling of success will stretch and grow to. You will now have more paths to success.
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.
Neale Donald Walsch
No matter what life is going to have ups and downs. There will be pains and pleasures.
All of the pain is a given.
The success and pleasures are up to you. These feelings are not given. You have to go out and take these. You have to make these happen. This is what it means to live a life with no regrets. Even if things do not work out you want to be able to say you gave it all you got. You went after your dreams. You didn’t make excuses.
You might as well fail doing something you love.
There is no need to reinvent the wheel. If someone has already done what you are trying to do then steal their methods. They have shown you a blueprint of what works and the results that you will get if you do what they do. Copying their blueprint is way better than starting from scratch.
Success leaves clues so if you want to be successful the you must study successful people and do what they do. You must ask wonderful questions to get wonderful answers. If you are seeking for wonderful answers then you will find wonderful answers.
Study the greats and see how they made it. What was their mindset? What was their goals? What did they do?
Gathering all the best information and steal their secrets for yourself. Once you steal it it becomes yours and you can elevate yourself to new heights. We are all standing on the shoulders of giants. Use their wisdom.
Revisit your past projects that you know are not finished and put the finishing touches on them.
What is holding you up?
Correct it and get it out the door! You may have learned something new since the last time you worked on this old project. You are in a different place now then when you started it. You are more experienced. You are more talented. You have more belief. You are more reslient and are willing to go the extra mile becuase you know that it is worth the extra work. You know putting in this extra work is not in vain because it will pay off in the long and short term.
Climbing this mountain of success is not easy and is full of resistance. You have been doing great to stay positive and keep building your confidence. Finishing work is a necessity because you can feel the great sense of accomplishment.
