The only thing standing between you and success is a shitload of hard work, sleepless nights, humbling yourself, and years of consistently showing up even when you don’t feel like it.

You can do anything you set your mind to if you live long enough. It's about that simple
Viva La Revolution!!!
Proof of work baby!
It only takes everything you’ve got.
Sorry that’s not enough
A baby will help with sleepless nights
And a community of men. Don’t be a hero and become successful just to feel isolated in the end
And smart investments.
and when no one else is watching*
and then you light still fail.
Absolutely! Consistency and hard work are the real game-changers. Every small step counts toward the bigger goal. 💪🚀
or a beautiful face and a giant rack 🤣
and then you might still fail.
So so true especially the humility required throughout!
For sure there’s efforts involved but treating yourself like a tyrant it’s not sustainable. You might well “succeed” and turn yourself into a wreck in the way. Just have a balance of intelligent hard work and times to decompress and relax.
Nah, I just need to find 1 block
Hence ... hard proof of work.
Folks get real lucky when they show up for work every day and bust their ass.
Success sounds pretty shifty tbh lol. I guess I failed upward. Except for the humbling part. The rest sounds like slavery to something. I think as humans we need to get rid of the notion that things need to be difficult. We make everything that difficult.
Autocorrect. I meant shitty in the first sentence.
I repectfully disagree, with a lifetime of experiences that I believe are valid but are only valid for me, obviously.
There is “Success”(tm) - in the American style - which is being the right person in the right place at the right time. Completely outside anyone’s control. It’s a century of propaganda about “who matters” in society. Some are respectable but the vast majority are not respectable human beings.
And I understand that you know this, I’m just venting….
I’m convinced that Conventional “success” has nothing to with individual merit or hard work or talent. Not that we shouldn’t live our lives in accord with character and hard work and talent, because those things are “proof of work” which is undeniable!
But far too many people work hard, far too many have ability, far too many put in their ridiculous “10,000 hours” and we’ve never heard of them and they can barely pay their rent. So I balk against equating hard work and building character with Success(tm) in life. Because it won’t.
IMO: yes, work intentionally toward what You wish to accomplish in your life
yes suffer what you must for yourself, but don’t put your suffering on those who count on you
And…always keep in mind that you will likely never “succeed”. But you can abide. You can prosper even.
I’ve found its most helpful to keep the genuine question “What Do I Want?” continually before me. That’s the only true guiding star in my outward life, as I see it.
Spot on.👍
That was a bit or work to write, so I appreciate it resonated with you, as someone I follow!
I tried to zap you for that,but it seems to be a problem across a few accounts not going through.
Ive always found that right place right time is the key.
e.g. job offers,opportunities.
But in saying that, hard work gets you into the position for these.
Success has a shelf life for most things,companies included.
Hubris has its part to play in the scheme of things as well.
The "stay humble" phrase has alot of merit when it comes to work.
I think what you're also getting at is that, even if we agree on the definition of convential success, reaching it still requires a whole lot of random things going the right way for you.
This is what Taleb talks about when he mentions the concept of Extremistan: social dinamics work in such a way that outcomes are not equally distributed. You can have a 100 writers sit down and work very hard on their books for 5 years, but maybe only one of them is going to sell 10 million copies while the second best might reach at best 100 thousand copies.
Is this right or wrong? This is just what reality is like. Hard work is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition.
As much as I buy the hustler mentality, and totally agree with the idea that proof-of-work is key to driving value
I am also becoming more and more aware of energetics, abundance, and mindset as a key tool for progress
Pushing the wrong idea in the wrong direction is a total waste of your limited time and attention
By actively working on your frequency, via meditation, planning, goal setting, self-image, and vision, you can save yourself a lot of heartache and sweat
Ironically I guess, this was not possible to figure out after doing a lot of what you’re proposing!
Keep going!
this without the sleepless nights. Sleep is important frens

Inheritance, nepotism and crime are underrated 😂
🤣🤣
Best reply out of them all 🤣 Crime pays, and anyone who tells you otherwise doesn’t know what they’re talking about. It also comes with a load of other consequences, but that’s another conversation 🤣
Shout out nepotism 🫡🫡🫡
Me: “Success requires hard work, humility, and dedication.”
The replies: “That sounds too hard. I’ll just redefine success to my own shitty lower standard.”
You do you. 😂🤷♂️

Also a generous portion of pure unadulterated luck.👍😂☕💜🧡⚡
Never hurts 😂
💯 agree. people only see the accolades and thought "she/he is lucky". Maybe. But to those who did the work, behind closed doors are grueling hard work, lessons after lessons (failures after failures), you have to become tenacious, pivot fast and have a strong mental condition. Getting what you want is not easy but it is possible and the lessons (mistakes) are worth every journey! 🫂👏
It's the only way forward brother
I'll skip the sleepless nights unless you talking about dealing with a newborn.
