The path of least resistance is the fool's path. Everyone takes it and there is VERY LITTLE reward at the end.
I don't care how much you prepare, how much you think, how much you strategize...once you start all bets are off.
It's exactly like that saying: "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face"...and guess what...in any success journey the punches in the face never fucking stop.
Ever.
The thing you have to realize is: THAT'S NORMAL.
You are not some special case where only you struggle and everyone else has it easy.
STRUGGLE ---> SUCCESS
You CANNOT have one without the other.
Struggle is a KEY INGREDIENT, if not THE KEY INGREDIENT to the success recipe!
Struggle serves so many purposes that you never EVER think about until after you've had your ass kicked by it.
It is THE PRIMARY TEACHER in any success journey.
It teaches you:
Appreciation
Gratitude
Frugality
Humility
Persistence
Fortitude
Mental toughness
And a million other NECESSARY qualities you will need along your journey.
So instead of looking for and waiting for the perfect plan with the least amount of STRUGGLE (why most people never get started & ultimately regret their lives) realize that the best way to learn is to make mistakes & dance with that evil bitch named STRUGGLE for as long as you can stand her filthy stench.
Because when it's all said and done...you'll be more thankful for that dance than you could ever imagine.
Quit talking shit.
Start doing shit.
Get out there and write your own success story.
NOW.
You have everything you need.
Now what?
