Everyone dreams big until they see the price tag.
But to really progress in your goals, you must develop a taste for saltwater.
"You see, most people mistake discomfort as a signal to stop and quit; the great ones see it as evidence they’re on the right track. Excellence is just pain tolerance disguised as genius. The real advantage isn’t talent — it’s cultivating a perverse appreciation for the discomfort others instinctively avoid."
— Shane Parrish
Orange Book on Twitter echoes this mindset:
There is no stress-free life. There are only people who appear to be stress-free because they are constantly investing in themselves in order to become a person who can handle any situation with calm.
Everyone dreams big until they see the price tag.
Until they face the quiet assassin: their own laziness.
Until they face the louder demon: their self-doubt.
But let us close this article with these obvious words:
You don’t have talent?
You don’t have connections?
You don’t have qualifications?
There’s still a solution within your control: wake up earlier.
