Success is not about talent. It's not about luck.

It's not about having the right connections or being born into the right family.

Success is about developing the discipline to do what needs to be done when it needs to be done whether you feel like it or not.

Every single person who has achieved something significant in their life had to push themselves beyond their comfort zone.

They had to do things that scared them.

They had to take action when they didn't feel ready. They had to persist when that scared them. They had to take action when they didn't feel ready.

They had to persist when everything inside them wanted to quit. The difference between

successful people and unsuccessful people is not that successful people don't feel fear,

doubt or resistance. The difference is that they push through it anyway. They understand that

growth and comfort cannot coexist. They

know that if you want something you've never had, you must be willing to do something you've

never done. If you consistently choose the easy path, your life will be difficult. If you

consistently choose the difficult path, your life will be easy. That's one of the great

paradoxes of life. And it's something that most people never figure out.

When I say push yourself, I'm not talking about driving yourself into the ground.

I'm not talking about working yourself to exhaustion or ignoring your health and relationships.

I'm talking about something much more profound. I'm talking about developing the mental discipline to do what you know you should do even when you don't feel like doing it you see we all have two voices

inside our heads one voice says you can do it you have what it takes go for it the

other voice says it's too hard you're not ready what if you fail the voice

you listen to will determine the quality of your life the voice you feed will

grow stronger the voice you starve will grow determine the quality of your life. The voice you feed will grow stronger.

The voice you starve will grow weaker.
