Here's the painful truth, most dreams never come true
It isn't because people are not working hard enough
It is not because they are not worthy or they are not not good
It is the simple reality that the things you are dreaming about
Are hard as hell to accomplish
So if you want to accomplish them
Let me tell you one thing right now
You cannot ever be passive
And most people that's the posture that they are in all the time
People are gonna tell you terrible advice
Like be patient
But the reality is, you can't be patient
Not if you want to achieve the highest level
And if patience is your thing
If you wanna chill, you wanna relax,
That is absolutely fine, there's no moral obligation to aim high
There's no moral obligation to be one of the greatest in the world
But let me tell you right now,
if you want to be one of the greatest of all time
The reality is you are fighting an uphill battle
The reality is you are gonna have to go so hard to
make that reality that other people simply cannot imagine
Working that hard for anything in the right
That is the simplest truth
And once you realise that
Once you realise that the people achieve the highest level
They have one thing in common
They wi;; bear the motherfucking work
They put so much energy in what they are trying to accomplish
Other people simply follow by the waist side
People simply can't imagine trying to keep up with that
So what they say is that that person is extraordinary
So what they say is that person is naturally talented
What they tell themselves is that person is they don't have
That's what they don't want to do is face the hard truth
That the dreams they have are not coming true
is because they are not making the right decisions
They are not pushing themselves to learn
Once you embrace that you are hopelessly average
That's where we all start
That's the beauty of it
The greatest piece of news I could give you is that
You are hopelessly average, that was where you started
But it doesn't have to be where you stay
You can become anything you want to be
But you have gotta put in that inhuman amount of work to improve
But if you focus on that, if you focus on improving the
THEN your dreams can really become a reality
But it has to be that aggressive posture
It has to be waking up everyday and asking yourself one
simple question - how I can become better today than I was yesterday
If you myopically focus on that,
that is the driving thing in your life that you don't worry about
whether or not you are good or great, or talented,
you just worry about whether I am
getting better today than I was yesterday,
Am I putting in that kind of energy,
Am I working hard enough to get better
Am I working hard enough to outperform other people
Am I holding myself up to this high standard
If you really do that and be real to yourself
About whether or not you are making progress
Then THEN your dreams really can come true
That's what i want for people
I want people to know to know that
I want people to believe it to the core of their being
You can do anything you set your mind to
And if you need encouragement
Let this be that encouragement, you can do it
I don't care how average you are in the beginning
Who do you want to become and what
price you are willing to pay to get there
And when the answer to that question is I want to be the best
And I am willing to pay an extraordinary price to get there
Then and only then, you will get there!
