It’s quite amazing actually, how many of us are out there floating on a big rocky ball with billions of stars in our galaxy amongst billions of galaxies in our universe. It can be a bit overwhelming, but no matter how insignificant we may feel, we must always remember that the only reason we had that realization was through the realization of someone else’s dream.
It’s a pyramid, the optimism of today is what builds up tomorrow. So as we go through life and take steps to improve it, we realize it requires many stones to build the future we want.
We must focus on creating our own paths — cutting through the brush and always innovating. Because it is those who take the paths most traveled that get caught up with truly powerful competition.
When we go down the road towards success, the journey ahead of us is one of difficulty. There may be nothing but disappointment and failure a times, but we must remember that like with all things, we must learn from our experiences and be persistent to put that knowledge to use.
It’s amazing how far we are willing to go in order to discover how far we can go — and while many things may appear terrifying, it is the moment we hit our limits that we discover that fear hides in the unknown.
Success doesn’t necessarily lead to happiness. If we succeed at something we don’t much care about and live a life without meaningful enjoyment from the things we choose to do in life, we may end up being less happy than those who have very little. Because happiness isn’t about volume, it’s about truly appreciating the little things.
The position we are in at any given time is simply the point of origin for the rest of our journey. So it’s the steps we take the moment we decide to move forward that will determine where
It is those who we meet that will share our journey with us, and as hard as we may pursue success we must always put the ones we love before it. Because success is nothing if you can’t share it with the ones you love.
The moment we realize that failure is a means to an end, that it’s a prerequisite for success is the moment we quit being afraid of failure and embrace it. Your loss, is your gain, maybe not ego, but definitely experience.
No matter the journey, destination or mode of travel, we must first believe that we can arrive. Too many start on journeys they never finish, but those who do have one thing in common — they believed in themselves and thus arrived at success.
When we look at the rules of engagement for success, tomorrow is today, and yesterday is all but forgotten. There is nothing like a daily fresh start and a drive to achieve. Learn quickly, forget the fails, celebrate the wins and move with the conviction of a freight train.
There are rare moments in our lives where we will be absolutely scared shitless. And yet, with all that adrenaline, with everything in our lizard brain telling us — DONT DO IT, we must decide. Many of us may never encounter such a moment, and that is when you know you’re not living under your own terms.
It is the moment we lose that we realize and react to our course and correct it, without this mechanism it is possible not to build up our ability to realize our hubris.
