Losers will always point to intangible, immeasurable items...

Luck.

Talent.

Circumstance.

They use them as justifications as to why other people are successful...

...and they aren't.

Winners always point at tangible items...

When someone I know goes out and does a great job or accomplishes some cool shit...

I never say "I'm proud of you."

Instead … I say "I'm excited for you."

I say this because I understand we are all a work in progress...

...and there is much more that these people will accomplish IF they keep their foot on the gas.

The same can be said for you.

Everybody knows what to do.

If you want to get in great shape ... you have to exercise and give your body the right nutrients and fuel.

If you want to win at anything ... you have to work hard every day and do it consistently for a long time.

If you want to find an answer to something ... you can find it online with just a couple clicks.

If you want to improve your mindset and skills ... you need to sharpen these tools through personal development.

Now let me ask you this...

There is no magic to success.

You just wish there was.

The only real magic that exists is doing what needs to be done when you'd rather do anything else...

...and doing it when nobody else will.

That's the "magic" you are missing.

Don't be scared to fall on your face over and over again and get laughed at by people who will never even try.

Their life will never get any better than it is right now.

While you get better...

They are just sitting around laughing at everyone they see doing anything they are unwilling to do.

They are perpetually stuck at the cool kids’ table from high school...

Intensity Fire Tenacity Hunger THE WILL TO FUCKING WIN! THE INTANGIBLES. These are the qualities that cannot be taught. These are the "it factors" of success.

Most people get all motivated, excited, and revved up to go out and crush it...

and what happens the first time they get punched in the fucking mouth...

Either by:

Making a call where they get hung up on...

or

Sending an email that gets no reply...

or

Getting shut down and getting their feelings hurt in some other way?

They say “This wasn’t meant for me”.

And that’s usually all it takes.

It's a great thing to dream, think and work toward enormous goals. Most people are incapable of seeing outside the realm of possibilities that they observed growing up. However, dreaming big comes with its own set of challenges... ...mainly and most potentially damaging to a life is the elements of “big goals” combined with an “unawareness” of the amount of effort it actually takes. It's an extremely dangerous thing to expect results overnight or have unrealistic expectations in the amount of struggle it's going to take.

If you don't have a clear picture in your head about exactly what you want your life to look like down the road...

...and you are uncertain whether or not your goals and dreams are possible for you...

You are telling the universe two things:

1. You’re not willing to put in the work that's required.

2. You don't care about what you bring into your life.

This is the exact reason why most people end up with a life that's far less than what they truly want...

They hope they'll win...

They wonder if they'll win...

They'll wish for their wins...

The more successful you are, the more controversial you're going to be.

Jealous people will come at you. Small-minded people will try and tear you down. People you thought were your friends will reveal themselves to you in the most disappointing ways.
