It took me a long time to truly realize the seriousness of the concept of quality over quantity.
Perhaps it's the society we live in where typically more is better and getting free things is an enticing offer. It's easy to get wrapped up in going for the cheapest thing on the table because it's sometimes the most accessible thing to grab onto. Thing is, this does not challenge you. This does not help you grow.
I am a firm believer that there are some things in our lives that will be forever out of our reach until we start changing fundamental pieces of ourselves. When we bring the best out in ourselves, we open up new avenues and opportunities to be explored. But this only happens when we challenge ourselves to be something that we've never been before.
I believe the great majority of people are disappointed in life not because they aim too high and miss, but because they aim too low and hit.
In order to become someone you've never been, you have to be willing to do things and act in ways you never have before.
You must be willing to put your name next to a goal and keep yourself accountable to it.
And here's the kicker, you have got to be truly willing to raise the bar for yourself at least 1% every day in order to turn yourself into something extraordinary.
When you let happiness find you instead of constantly going out and seeking it, life becomes a whole lot more interesting. Take some time to focus on improving yourself day by day and building your dreams. Eventually, as time goes on and you start tearing down the walls that protect you from putting yourself out there in the world, that happiness will find you.
There's so much out there about being happy, but I think anything, particularly when it's involved around an emotion, when attempted at "too hard" can basically end up being a disaster or completely inauthentic. I suspect, ultimately, making incremental changes to yourself and letting contentment find you because you're being the best version of yourself will deliver you more joy in the long run.
The bedrock of your greatest self will be built on sacrifice. Are you really willing to do the things today that others do not do? Are you willing to do the things that you know you are really capable of but are very tough? It is hard to look yourself in the face often and say, "I'm going to compete with my potential today."
Sacrifices will be the foundation your new life is built upon.
Make something of yourself today.
