As Kendrick Lamar said,

it was always me versus the world.

Until I found it's me versus me.

I think that's where most of us start.

We think that there's something outside

that we're struggling against.

We think that literally the world is against us

and we're raging against something.

But we don't even know what that thing is

that we're raging against.

And as you fight and try to make your way

and as you try to accomplish something incredible,

you find that you're not making any headway.

And that moment that you finally begin to break through

and build something extraordinary.

In that moment,

the realization is that it was always you trying to figure out

how to become the best version of yourself.

And once you grasp that, once you let the noise die away,

once you stop worrying about what other people think,

what other people want, what other people have accomplished,

what other people have.
