Of course putting in the work matters. Nothing gets done through sitting and vision-boarding your future if you don’t take action.
But in reality, we’re all built for different things.
If you enjoy riding the struggle bus and making random stops throughout rock bottom- ignore this post.
Sure, you can hold on for dear life to whatever you think your dream is. But if you’re not built for it, you just won’t make it that far.
What is guaranteed is your struggle. And trying to make a false dream a reality is the pinnacle of suffering.
I want a fun life, but fulfillment comes from competency, which means doing something that you get decent returns on.
It took 8 years, but Peter Pan finally realized he doesn’t want Neverland, he wants Wonderland.
I want my life to be stimulating, challenging, and for my work to be intrinsically connected to who I am. I can honestly say, my hard-headed ass is finally moving towards that.
Once I chose a path that was based on my nature, whad’ya know Sherlock, I started seeing success.
Both materially and spiritually.
Wanna succeed? Do what you are. Do work that you’re inclined for.
I used to fantasize about dominating every niche on a whim. I’d be the best in the world director, filmmaker, rockstar, musician, entrepreneur, leader, time magazine’s Man of the year, and an overall icon- in every sense of the word.
But then I woke the fuck up.
I realized that mindset doesn’t lead to success or wealth, but rather delusion and then depression.
With this came one question, what does the pattern of my life reveal for inclinations and career and what am I spending my time on?
This was my way out.
Success is easy. That sounds so wild, but it’s true. If you have self-awareness and a growth mindset, success will accompany you as a byproduct.
But it takes effort to become self-aware.
Do that, and you’ll succeed.
