The Only Shortcut To Success

‘There is no shortcut or growth hack or magic pills that can get you around the hard work of doing your job well, of winning something you care about, or of making your dreams come true.’- Anold Schwarzenegger

That is exactly what people are after. People want to succeed overnight. They don’t want to do the work.

They think they can get around not doing their work well. If you want success, no matter who you are, what you know, who you know, what you want, you must do your work really well.

Because if you think you can talk yourself into success, you are not being honest with yourself.

If you think you can just think positively into success, into your own personal growth, you are cheating yourself.

You must get up every morning, take care of yourself, then go to work. There is no other way forward. Doing the work is the only shortcut to success.

As always, you are more, not less!

Calling Yourself A Courageous Person Does Not Make You One. Here is Why

Courage is life. It is the way. If you want to experience a new life, a different life, courage is the way. You have got to think courageous thoughts. You have got to live like a courageous person. And you have got to embrace courage.

The question is, ‘Are you a courageous person?’ Because a courageous person is a person who is not afraid to say ‘yes’ to life, who is not afraid to stand up for something bigger, who is not afraid to stand up for others, even when it is not comfortable.

But calling yourself a courageous person does not make you one. Why is that? Because courage does not talk. Courage acts. Courage does not believe in words. Courage believes in actions.

You are a courageous person when you know what is going on around you, when you are not afraid to say, ‘enough is enough.’

You are a courageous person when you have the courage to leave your blood-sucking job, when you have the courage to leave your life-taking relationship.

You are a courageous person when you have the courage to ask for what you want, to take care of yourself, to believe in your life.

You are a courageous person when you have the courage to follow your heart, even when other people are not comfortable with your decision.

You are a courageous person when you have the courage to think for yourself, to be an independent thinker.

The question is, ‘Do you have the courage to question what you do not understand?’
