🦾 Why success is rare
Melius Humano,
Wildling,
Success is rare.
Because it takes years of effort.
Because along the way, it's soul crushing. Often hopeless.
The hardest part of the success path is working through those periods where it feels like nothing is happening.
You don't get little rewards along the way. Sometimes you do, most of the time you don't.
That's why becoming the person who deserves success comes before achieving it.
Once you become that person, it's only a matter of time.
A lot of time.
Because it's all about the long run.
It requires patience. Consistency. Perseverance.
Not quitting no matter what... especially when you want to.
And doing it daily with ZERO guarantee it's going to pan out.
That's all success is.
It's not as glamorous when you realize what it takes.
In response to many calling his work "genius," this is what Michelangelo had to say:
"If you knew how much work went into it, you would not call it genius."
If you want material success in the modern world, you're not skipping any of this.
What I'd like to see is more modern humans being ok with NOT wanting it.
Being OK, even desiring, simple lives based on deep meaningful relationships, simple daily pleasures, nature, building things, and prioritizing real life in the moment rather than glued to a device.
Some of us have success sickness. We have no choice but to try. What I wrestle with is preparing myself for when I've "made it," making sure I don't make it about more and instead build a deep, meaningful, and simple life featuring the list above.
I currently view "success" as my escape ticket. Enough funds to buy a 100 acre plot and invite others to come live differently.
Afternoon slump
I can’t stand feeling like I need an afternoon nap.
Maybe I do?
But I also think it’s something else.
So I’m digging deep…
Mineral test (again)
gut test
Another hormone test since using BPC + new supplement program
Probably going to cycle off coffee for a while to see if that helps
💻 Hmm
