All of my dreams and aspirations are here. And the only thing in-between these two is a bunch of work. That's all the motivation I need.]] - [[There is intense fascination with men who detest mediocrity, who refuse to define themselves in conventional terms, and who seek to transcend traditionally recognized human capabilities.]] ## Notes ### Mediocrity - [[There is intense fascination with men who detest mediocrity, who refuse to define themselves in conventional terms, and who seek to transcend traditionally recognized human capabilities.]] - "[[I always knew in the back of my mind that I could be something special. But, I knew the work it would take was gonna kill me. I was afraid of that.]]" - Choosing the path of least resistance may be a way to move forward, but it is not a way to move upward. - [[You always grow through what you go through]]. - [[No problem is a problem]]. - You must put in the work; to do the hard thing to get better. ### Work - Literal difficulty isn't necessary in the practice of [[Everyday effort]]; discipline is. - [[Discipline is doing something you hate like you love it]]. - An approachable method to doing (and enduring) hard work is to chip away at it every day. To establish and practice daily [[Atomic habits]] that build yourself up to the person you wish to one-day become. To have the impact that you wish to one day achieve. - [[I'm here. All of my dreams and aspirations are here. And the only thing in-between these two is a bunch of work. That's all the motivation I need.]]
