Personal Experience
The only reason it appears to work is because others have been doing it.
The “winners write history” as the saying goes.
But it doesn’t mean you have to do it that way.

The beginning boxers on “Mike Tyson’s Punchout” were easy to defeat.
As we leveled-up, so did the challenge of the opponent we faced.
In life, we have the choice to play on the level we want. The harder levels bring their own obstacles but the rewards tend to be of greater value to us.
Consider why the person telling you to not go after your “thing” is telling you that.
People don’t want you to move to another level.
It makes them look bad.
It makes them feel less of themselves.
The difference between kids and adults is that kids almost exclusively do things that are either fun, challenging, or both. They don’t waste time on the things that they don’t enjoy. They don’t have the patience for it.
Rejection hurts because we believe everyone should like us, want to be with us, or want to do business with us.
It doesn’t work that way. Rejection teaches us more about the people who are right for us than the people who are not.
We step up to bat in the bottom of the 9th. At the goal line with seconds on the clock. One putt away from victory.
These are the glory moments. The ones that catch the attention of everyone. They are etched in our memories and in history.
We all want to do something we are not currently doing. From big to small, it doesn’t matter what it is, all of us have things sitting on the “to do” list that for whatever reason are not taking priority.
We might convince ourselves that the next “life hack” or shortcut will get us to the next level quicker or that speeding up and working harder will be the key to our success.
Some days zip by in a jiffy. Others tend to meander through a long winding space and feel slow and calm.
One of the things I’ve pondered recently is how much my time is worth considering the many competing priorities in my life and it always seems to be a balancing act of epic proportions to get everything done I need to get done. However, there are a lot of these items that I either don’t enjoy doing or feel they are repetitive and administrative and it’d be more beneficial to get help to complete them.
