Young men need to stop feeling like they're behind in life. When Julius Caesar was in his thirties, he was reading about Alexander the Great and began to cry. His friends asked him what was wrong. He said: “Do you not think it is matter for sorrow that while Alexander, at my age, was already king of so many peoples, I have as yet achieved no brilliant success?” Alexander had built an empire from Greece to India and died at 32. Caesar was older and had done nothing worth remembering. In his forties, he conquered Gaul. At 50, he crossed the Rubicon and took Rome. He became the most famous Roman who ever lived. Caesar thought he was behind, but he was only getting started. You are not late.
The most dangerous moment is right after you win.
You did it. You made the money. You quit your job. You built the physique. You got the girl. Now what? Most people let themselves decline into misery because their driving force has now vanished.
You need another mountain to climb. You need to understand that it is a gift, not a curse, to always be in the pursuit of your potential - the constant balance of challenge and skill is what makes life meaningful. There is no final top of the mountain.
i'm in love with this quote:
"if you're persistent, you'll get it. if you're consistent, you'll keep it. and if you're grateful, you'll attract more of it."
