Don't Be Like Most People

Hello!

Most people do not live fulfilled lives.

Most people are trapped doing work they hate.

Most people would rather entertain themselves rather than seek enlightenment.

Most people live only for the week-end or their days off.

Most people are fascinated with lives other than their own.

Most people never step into a book store.

Most people have a larger television rather than a large library.

But you are not most people. If you're reading this, you have a desire for a life that is above mediocrity, beyond bland, mindless conformity.

You have a Great Destiny to fulfill! Now go and find it before you have regrets over a wasted life.

To your Greatness,

Fail fast, learn, move on

This post is based on Episode 037 of The Goal Wizard Show

Many people believe that the opposite of success is failure. But that's not true. The opposite of success is mediocrity. 

Now, I've failed in so many ways. I've been evicted from where I've lived four times, I have lost all my possessions twice, I've been homeless and out on the streets twice, I've had to spend 8 years in various halfway houses, I've lost several jobs I was actually good at and cared about, I tried starting my own business and failed at that...

What I understand now that I didn't understand before is I've just had LEARNING EXPERIENCES. I now have learned the lesson and discarded the experience. I do not spend any more time in reliving my "failures" in my head. I know better, so I do better.

An ancient joke:

PATIENT: Doctor! It hurts when I do this! [LIFTS ARM]
DOCTOR: Well then, stop doing that!

And when you make mistakes, make them in a hurry. Always do SOMETHING. Phil Knight of Nike famously said "You only have to succeed the last time."

So get out there and fail fast!
