Good character is not formed in a week or a month. It is created little by little, day by day. Protracted and patient effort is needed to develop good character.
~Heraclitus
Life is hard, and for most of human history it was much harder. There is no doubt that advances in technology have come with many pros and cons. As a society we have become used to comfort, distraction, and immediate gratification. We have also become inundated with constant, incessant access to the best among us. We constantly see and share those who have seemingly impossible, unachievable skills, wealth, knowledge, lifestyles, experiences, and so on. This is demotivating for most humans since you do no see the years of work that goes into producing 30 seconds of greatness on TikTok, and the primal brain thinks, “I could NEVER do that!”
But you can, and you should. Nothing is more attractive than people who love the game they play and give it their all. People who are on their grind because they want to see what they can achieve and what they are truly capable of. People who want to know that, at the end of the day, they left nothing on the table in pursuit of the things they actually care about.
Success and growth requires a willingness and dedication to experience prolonged discomfort, and the human mind actively does not like to do hard things for long periods. This is actually extremely smart biologically and extremely dumb mentally and spiritually. Your biology does not know that its time on this planetary spaceship is limited, but your brain does and so do the brains of others. This is why people putting in the effort stand out in our distractable and comfortable world.
Overnight success is based on luck, and durable long run success is based on effort. You must have the right skills and confidence to capitalize on the opportunities life provides you, and someone relentlessly chasing their passions will be best positioned to make this magic happen.
Put down the phone and chase what matters to you.
You don’t need to the be the best to ever do it. Just be the best you can be and let that be enough.
