A fortune teller called me and warned me– she said, “this crystal ball shows you’re smart, but never trust it…
Delusion; often disguised as a dream or a goal– but what separates it is it’s ability to remove you from reality.
And I’ve been far removed.
Do you have a single calling?
We read about success stories from famous authors, athletes, and entrepreneurs– and this makes the dream seem less sleepy… as if, you too, right where you are, have what it takes.
But we don’t read from the failed authors, or hear from the people who have been trying to make it in Hollywood since they were children, or the athletes who couldn’t recover– they all worked hard too, they sacrificed, but they didn’t make it.
Most don’t make it because they’re playing the wrong game.
My answer to the fortune teller– I said, “Fond of myself as I am, I don’t buy into things that could destroy me.”
I believe we each have callings, I’ve always believed that– but if you keep looking at the caller ID anticipating one area code, you’ll miss the opportunity.
The secret to success isn’t an aim, it’s not a destination, it’s you– nature meeting nature. It’s a relationship and it has to be mutual.
The truth is, you have to figure out where and how your traits could yield you success.
There is nothing to find.
Everyone will tell you to change, to work on yourself, to be better… advice equivalent to “don’t have cancer.”
If 50 million people say something foolish, it’s still foolish.
Be your own #1 fan, and give up on stupid callings. Chase your definition of success, do it your way– all the way.
