Achieving excellence requires an unprecedented amount of effort and endurance that most people fail to comprehend. The process is often lonely and challenging, especially when working on projects like writing books, where reinforcement is minimal until the end. Despite this, there is a sense of joy in being able to endure such challenges. Success stems from enduring the process of continuous improvement, where the rewards are everlasting. Joy is found in being present in the moment and accepting life experiences as they come, rather than chasing external goals like happiness or meaning. Pursuing excellence involves focusing on getting all the small details right, analogous to the success of products like Mr. Beast's videos. Ultimately, finding joy in endurance and striving for excellence leads to long-lasting fulfillment and pride in one's accomplishments.
