Deep dives

The Illusion of Ease in Achievement

Society often promotes the idea that success and fulfillment should come easily, leading individuals to expect instant results in various aspects of life, such as health, relationships, and careers. This unrealistic expectation creates frustration when faced with the necessary challenges and hard work required to achieve meaningful goals. Things that are truly worthwhile often demand effort and perseverance, rather than quick fixes or shortcuts. Recognizing that greatness is hard-earned encourages a more resilient mindset, where individuals commit to enduring the struggles they encounter on their journey.

3min

Do the difficult things that you don’t feel like doing yet you know will make you stronger, faster, bigger (of glory) and better.

So—just maybe—the most powerful word in the word is one of the simplest: YES.

Say yes to the scary new project that will push you to grow. Say yes to the trip you’ve been postponing for years. Say yes to giving the speech that frightens you terrifically and the new friendship that stretches you emotionally and the book that seems so hard to read yet carries the wisdom your finest self most wishes you would know.

Your genius and your magic depend on this. And your honour demands it of you.

My latest book “The Wealth Money Can’t Buy” is full of fresh ideas and original tools that I’m absolutely certain will cause quantum leaps in your positivity, productivity, wellness, and happiness. You can order it now by clicking here.
