Common trait amongst guys at the top, is high stress tolerance.
They are jaded in some way.
Extreme trauma and crazy life experiences. Sets you apart mentally and shifts perspective on life.
Allows you to push forward no matter what because ur mostly numb to pain.
Example from @50cent
“I had nothing to worry about no more because the worst had already happened”
Shot 9 times, mother passing + list goes on…
Dont just remember God when things are going bad
Remember him when things are going good too
وَإِذْ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكُمْ لَئِن شَكَرْتُمْ لَأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ وَلَئِن كَفَرْتُمْ إِنَّ عَذَابِى لَشَدِيدٌ
"If you are grateful, I will surely increase you; but if you are ungrateful, indeed My punishment is severe."
Surah Ibrahim 14:7
“I do not fear two days:
the day my death is not decreed - for nothing can harm me;
and the day my death is decreed - for nothing can save me.”
- Ali ibn Abi Talib
remember you can achieve anything you want in this life, as long as you know what is required, and you do what is required.
its not easy, but its simple.
Your inventions and ideas are not yours
Our intuition pulls things from the ether
And if you don’t act on them then someone else will bring them to fruition
Nikola Tesla spoke extensively on this.

Pre modern people all used to meditate on death
They always had the idea of their mortality in the back of their mind
Even their clocks had “carpe diem” and “momento mori” on
And in the late Queen Elizabeth’s throne room there is a big clock with the grim reaper (angel of death) on top to remind of the passing of time
This is why trauma and hard experiences generally are a common denominator of successful vs unsuccessful people
It builds you / makes you jaded to pain, rejection, failure, loss
The emotional highs and lows you go through when you start running your own business are so extreme that you understand why almost the entire population can’t live this way. The extremes you experience would break most peoples minds in half.
There are days where you’re on the edge of throwing in the towel, down to your last penny… and days when you make a corporate worker’s salary in a single deal.
This path is for those who thrive in chaos and are addicted to uncertainty.
Those that bet on themselves and go all in.
