I can’t stress this enough. GET OUT OF YOUR HOMETOWN. Even if it’s not forever. Move. Travel. See the world. There is more to life than the same 10 people and the same 2 bars.
i’m going to delete linkedin and focus on what really matters this year. learning how to crochet. memorizing poems. attempting to befriend a crow. writing a kids story. going on walks. and doing yoga
The harsh truth is that 99% of people will never amount to anything in this life. Most will stay average, broke, unsuccessful, and controlled by the systems at play. Losers at best. Stuck in victim mode.
Discipline is what gets you moving. Obsession is what keeps you from stopping. Discipline teaches you to stay calm when everything’s falling apart, but obsession doesn’t care about calm. It eats at you. It makes you push when there’s nothing left to give.
Every successful person I’ve ever met had that look in their eyes, the one that only obsession gives you. I know a lot of disciplined people who are still broke. They show up, they work hard, they stay consistent, but they never cross that line into obsession. The good news is those people are close. They’re on their way to greatness; they just haven’t gone all in yet.
Discipline keeps you grounded, but obsession is what breaks you through. The 1% who make it have both.
Will you break through, anon?
