It took me a long time to take in the significance of the concept of quality over quantity. Perhaps it's the society we are living in where sometimes more is better and getting free stuff is an attractive offer. It's simple to get wrapped up in going for the cheapest thing on the table because it's often the easiest thing to get. Thing is, this does not challenge you. I am absolutely a firm believer in the indisputable fact that there are things, people and goals that can only ever be reached when you grow into them. When you are going for the cheap stuff, you are not prepared yet. The day that you can look yourself in the face and tell yourself that you aren't yet built to achieve something is a really grounding, truthful, and yet above all...inspiring day.
I think most people are disappointed in life not because they aim far too high and miss, but because they target too low and hit.
You've got to be pleased to make sacrifices for your own personal good.
You have got to be willing to put your name on the board, write a goal with it, and give it everything you have.
And here's the kicker, you've got to be truly willing to raise the bar for yourself at least 1% every single day to turn yourself into something extraordinary.
It's amazing the disconnect that happens when people search for happiness. What's interesting however, is when you don't seek it...it actually comes to you. I didn't search for desired happiness completely. I didn't attempt to be happy at all. However, I did not take part in the everyday "just be satisfied" rubbish either. What I did was work on improving upon myself, doing the things which I knew would make me satisfied, and when it was right... I let happiness find me.
There's so much out there about being happy... but I believe anything, particularly when it's involved around an emotion, when really tried at too hard can actually end up being a tragedy or completely inauthentic. I think, long-term, making incremental changes and improvements to yourself and letting happiness find you because you're being the best version of yourself will deliver you bigger joy in the end.
The foundation of your greatest self is going to be built on sacrifice. Are you ready to do the things today that others don't do? Are you willing to do the things that you know you are literally capable of but are really hard? It's hard to look yourself in the face sometimes and say I really am going to challenge my potential today. "
