To make it happen, you need to be committed. In bacon and eggs, you have to be like the pig and not the chicken. The pig gave his life! He gave all he had. The chicken however was just casually involved. You have to DECIDE! I love the LATIN root of decide:
You have to cut off the other options! You can't win if there is a Plan B! I love the story of Cortez when he landed in Central America - he torched all of the boats! There was no retreat for his men! They would either become victors or die trying! When choosing your path to success in life, you must GO FOR IT!
Everyone that I have ever heard of or met that has done something with their life worth remembering gave it all for it. So why would we not do that too? Why should we play it safe in life? Nobody gets out alive anyway! You are going to give your life for something no matter what. When are you going to give your life for something that you choose?
This has been a shotgun style post. But I wanted to share it because I have been noticing it a lot in my reading. That's really the difference between 'success and failure.' Successful people just do it over and over and over and over until it works. They have the hunger. They live by the philosophy 'I will until!' They never give up. They never surrender.
I will close with this quote by Will Smith that is probably the best example of what it looks like to be 100% committed:
"The only thing that I see that is distinctly different about me is I'm not afraid to die on a treadmill. I will not be out-worked, period. You might have more talent than me, you might be smarter than me, you might be sexier than me, you might be all of those things you got it on me in nine categories. But if we get on the treadmill together, there's two things: You're getting off first, or I'm going to die. It's really that simple, right? You're not going to out-work me."
