Treat Success Like Your Next Breath Of Air
I remember the first time I heard Eric Thomas the hip hop preacher say, "When you want success as bad as you want to breathe, then you will be successful".
When I heard that I realized exactly why achieving great levels of success was so difficult.
It wasn't because I wasn't good enough, cool enough, or smart enough.
My lack of success at the time was because of my lack of consistent and relentless action.
Being obsessed with something and acting crazy is not a bad thing when you're striving for success.
When you become obsessed with success and start taking unreasonable amounts of action on a daily basis, you will be called crazy, ridiculous, unrealistic, and even mentally ill.
But, just because you act a certain way doesn't mean that is who you're. We are naturally lazy and we just want to sit back and relax, but if you want to achieve greatness you can't be your natural lazy self. At least not right now.
You have to treat success like your next breath of air. You should always be taking action towards achieving your goals, and you must never give up until your goal is achieved.
Stop wasting time and waiting for the perfect moment.
There is no such thing as a perfect moment. A perfect moment is only an illusion. Your perfect moment is whenever you want it to be. Make a decision to attack your goals relentlessly and don't settle for average levels of action.
Do you wait for the perfect moment to breathe?
Of course not. You have to breathe as much as possible and you don't stop breathing.
What if you were to treat success the way you treat your next breath?
You got to have it and there is nobody or no thing that can stop you from having it.
That is the mindset needed to achieve your goals and make your visions come true.
Make success a priority in your life and stop accepting anything other than what you want.
Nothing happens overnight but consistent, persistent, and focused action will get you where you want to be.
