I often ask myself

what differentiates those who wish for better outcomes

and those who do something about it?

What separates the dreaming from the progress and the wishing from the reality?

Sure, life is complex.

There are a lot of moving parts to understand.

But I think this element is simple.

Those who build things in life are willing to not only see a reality that hasn't yet materialized.

But they also understand that in a world of no, they have to be the yes.

They have to believe in their ability to drive towards finish lines that no one else sees and see meaning cannot come to fruition without that discomfort.

Or as Nietzsche put it, one must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star,

and that's just it. Most people see what is. Most people conform. They do not create. To change something means you have to be the metaphorical eagle amongst pigeons, flying above all that, everyone, everything else, superseding the limiting beliefs that shackle others to their one-dimensional realities.

But most importantly, it means you can see.

You can see what no one else can.

You have line of sight to what no one else understands.

See in this world, no one walks up to you on the street,

puts their arm around you and says, hey kid, that dream, follow that because I can tell you're going to do big things.

No one says, hey, that business idea, you're going to thrive next year.

I know it. That relationship, it's going to happen.

That level of fitness? Oh, I can see it already. Nope. People see what's right in front of them.

And as it pertains to you and your world, your life, people are those pigeons. And so that leaves you with a choice.

Do you accept that? Do you blend in, take the scraps you're allowed to consume
