"I got my hands on a rare manuscript of Think and Grow Rich.
One paragraph didn’t make the final version.
It said:
""Poverty is not lack. It is fear, frozen into habit.""
That line made me rethink every excuse I had at the time.
Still does."
Underrated life skill: Listening without waiting to talk. You’ll be shocked how much people tell you if you actually let them finish. What folks want isn’t advice. It’s your attention. You don’t win people over with your story. You win them over by letting them finish theirs.
Motivation provides the fuel to start; discipline is the engine that carries you to the finish line.
You cannot build a lifetime of success on a single month of enthusiasm. Motivation is just a fleeting spark.
Discipline, however, is the patience woven with willpower that keeps the fire burning.
True success is not about working only when you feel like it; it is the power to continue even on the days you do not.
Remember:
Motivation gets you started; discipline gets you there.
If you can take responsibility for a lifetime rather than just a moment, then you are the one who truly lasts…

@BernieSanders You are a parasite, becoming a millionaire off hard working people, like Elon. You should be thanking him for the billions of his tax dollars you have pillaged.

THE NEXT TIME YOU FEEL LIKE GIVING UP, REMEMBER THIS PHOTO OF ELON MUSK.
IT WAS TAKEN AFTER HIS THIRD ROCKET EXPLODED.
HE HAD JUST LOST $100 MILLION OF HIS OWN MONEY. SPACEX WAS WEEKS AWAY FROM BANKRUPTCY. TESLA WAS STRUGGLING. HE WAS SLEEPING ON FRIENDS’ COUCHES.
THE MEDIA CALLED HIM RECKLESS. INVESTORS PULLED BACK. EVERYONE TOLD HIM TO QUIT.
INSTEAD, HE BET EVERYTHING ON ONE FINAL LAUNCH. IF IT FAILED, SPACEX WAS DONE.
THE LAUNCH SUCCEEDED — AND CHANGED HISTORY.
TODAY, SPACEX IS WORTH OVER $1 TRILLION AND DOMINATES THE PRIVATE SPACE INDUSTRY.
MOST PEOPLE QUIT RIGHT BEFORE THEIR BREAKTHROUGH.
ELON KEPT GOING WHEN EVERYTHING WAS AGAINST HIM.
THAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SUCCESS AND ALMOST SUCCESS.
