Looking up at the night sky in the hopes of seeing a shooting star.
Blowing an eyelash off a friend’s finger.
Blowing out our birthday candles.
Humans really are capable of believing anything if it means they don't have to work hard.
Saying things like
“Good things come to those who wait.”
“If it’s meant to be, it’ll be.”
How destructive can we get?
How many more excuses, before it dawns on us that these things don’t mean anything?
The only way to get anything in life is by working your ass off.
Seriously, when you’re done, you shouldn't even have an ass.
Wishing, hoping and praying are very convenient excuses for lazy people, who aren’t willing to try or take any responsibility for their actions.
Every once in a while, people get lucky and get something without trying, but that’s not destiny or wishing.
That’s what we call a coincidence.
We admire every CEO, scientist, writer, singer or athlete we can think of and waste countless hours, days or years wishing we were like them and fantasizing about how great their lives must be.
But when do we get to the point where we acknowledge how many sacrifices these people make?
- Scientists dedicate their whole life to studying, they don’t procrastinate every time they have a minute to spare.
They don’t have minutes to spare. - CEOs work countless hours and are responsible for an incredible amount of jobs, hardly ever see their families and are constantly judged for being greedy.
- Writers go days with no sleep when experiencing writer’s block.
- Singers spend hours in vocal training, studios and working out to fit society’s aesthetic standards.
- And do we really have to explain the restrictive diets and intense training athletes go through?
As soon as we’re willing to do any of these things, we’ll get a shot at being as successful as they are.
Achieving anything means making sacrifices.
And that’s the difference between successful people and the average human.
We all want to have it all, but when we accept that that’s nothing more than a fantasy, we’ll be able to look at our lives objectively and prioritize things to accommodate our goals.
Sending beams of positive energy into the universe is just an unnecessarily descriptive way of saying the word procrastination.
As kids, we were told that, if we want something bad enough, we’re gonna get it!
But we’re all grown up now and the harsh reality is that the only way to get anything in life is through hard work.
So how about we start?
