The road to success is a long and winding one, with plenty of obstacles just waiting to trip up a careless traveller. Apart from the privileged few who are given everything on a silver platter, most of the people who make their dreams come true put in a lot of hard work and make sacrifices behind the scenes, constantly improving themselves. Shaping yourself into a smarter, faster, stronger and better version takes time, and there are a number of things that you need to do for success, even though you may not realize it yet.
You have to do the hard things.
ü You have to make the call you're afraid to make.
ü You have to get up earlier than you want to get up.
ü You have to give more than you get in return right away.
ü You have to care more about others than they care about you.
ü You have to fight when you are already injured, bloody, and sore.
ü You have to feel unsure and insecure when playing it safe seems smarter.
ü You have to lead when no one else is following you yet.
ü You have to invest in yourself even though no one else is.
ü You have to look like a fool while you're looking for answers you don't have.
ü You have to grind out the details when it's easier to shrug them off.
ü You have to deliver results when making excuses is an option.
ü You have to search for your own explanations even when you're told to accept the "facts."
ü You have to make mistakes and look like an idiot.
ü You have to try and fail and try again.
ü You have to run faster even though you're out of breath.
ü You have to be kind to people who have been cruel to you.
You have to meet deadlines that are unreasonable and deliver results that are unparalleled.
ü You have to be accountable for your actions even when things go wrong.
ü You have to keep moving towards where you want to be no matter what's in front of you.
Remember one thing, the harder the nut is to crack, the harder & stronger you'll become after you finally crack open it's shell & triumphantly feed on its produce.
