everybody wants to be
successful but virtually nobody
understands that success is a path it's
a process it's not a Finish Line it's
not something that you do once and then
you finish it is literally the
systematic acquisition of skills and as
Scott Adams said every skill you acquire
doubles your odds of success and that's
it that's the secret if you really want
to do something in your life if you
really want to be great if you want to
smash it if you want to be
remembered the key is to acquire as many
skills as you can because every thing
that you bring into your world gives you
an exponentially greater chance of
winning of doing the thing that you want
to do but you have to be totally focused
and committed on gaining those
skills and as The Rock pointed out
success at anything will always come
down to this focus and effort and we
control both once you understand that
that's what you have to do you have to
get control of yourself you have to stay
focused on something you have to learn
the discipline and apply it on your path
to success to acquire the skills that
you want to acquire that it is going to
demand of you that you work harder you
work smarter and you work longer than
anybody else and that's the [ __ ]
secret there really is no Grand mystery
if you want to be successful if you want
to do something other people can't do
then you have to be become
capable of the
extraordinary you have to become capable
of doing something that other people
can't and that is the best possible news
I could give
you because it doesn't matter what
you're born with it doesn't even matter
who you are what matters is who you want
to become and the price that you're
willing to pay to get there and let me
tell you this the price is known and
that price is the acquisition of skills
that price is getting so good that
people can't ignore you that price is
being able to beat anyone at the game
that you've chosen to play once you get
to that point once people stand back in
awe when they watch what you're doing
then you will have won then success will
be yours but it was in no uncertain
terms the result of the path that you
walked and as Angela Duckworth
notes enthusiasm is common but endurance
is rare So when you sneak out that first
lead when you get ahead of people and
you think hey I've acquired this skill
I've done something people are looking
at me like I can't be stopped remember
that right now at this moment someone is
practicing while you're not doing the
thing that you need to be doing while
you're sitting back in your laurels very
happy with what you've accomplished
somebody else is going to eat your lunch
because they have a passion and
enthusiasm that endures and at the end
of the day if you can want something so
badly if you [ __ ] burn from the
inside to do something to become
something to become capable of more then
you will endure then you'll be able to
push past other people then when other
people break and they lie in your wake
you will push forward because that
[ __ ] thing in you that you have
cultivated is the ability to endure it
is not the ability to be a badass it is
not the ability to think that you're
cool it is the ability to kick your own
ass to deal with what is boring to live
in the pain to step towards anguish to
know that suffering is a choice and you
choose to turn it off because you know
on the other
side on the other side of
Endurance on the other side of
outlasting everybody
else is a skill set that makes you
Unstoppable
