The majority of successful people in the world began their journeys from humble beginnings and worked their way up. Luck only plays a role when one finds themselves in the right place at the right time, but it is up to the individual to seize that opportunity.

So many people today are in a rush to become successful.
They want to earn 7-figures in 12 months even though they have no marketable skills, no network, and no businesses acumen.
They want to build their dream body in 12 weeks even though they haven’t set foot in a gym in years and don’t really understand the current state of their physical body.

“Each day is a day of decision, and our decisions determine our destiny.” — Russell Nelson
You live your life in 24 hour periods. How you use those 24 hour periods determines who you become and how successful you’ll be.
If you learn to master your day, you’ll learn how to master your weeks, months, years, and life.

What’s a zero day? A zero day is when you don’t do a single fucking thing towards whatever dream or goal or want or whatever that you got going on. No more zeros. I’m not saying you gotta bust an essay out everyday, that’s not the point. The point I’m trying to make is that you have to make yourself, promise yourself, that the new SYSTEM you live in is a NON-ZERO system. Didnt’ do anything all fucking day and it’s 11:58 PM? Write one sentence. One pushup. Read one page of that chapter. One. Because one is non zero. You feel me? When you’re in the super vortex of being bummed your pattern of behavior is keeping the vortex goin, that’s what you’re used to. Turning into productivity ultimate master of the universe doesn’t happen from the vortex. It happens from a massive string of CONSISTENT NON ZEROS. That’s rule number one. Do not forget.
Your goal shouldn’t be the end result, but rather the struggle, pain, and excruciating process that leads to it. The goal itself won’t make you better, it’s the grind, the process, and the struggle that will sharpen you, strengthen you, and make you tougher.
The metaphor of success being a mountain with an end point is flawed. There is no end. Believing in an end will take you away from what’s making you better – the grind, the process, and the struggle of an ambitious life.

“Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment” as the great Jim Rohn would say. One of the greatest life lessons that my grandpa taught me from an early age was that there is a right time and place for everything. You need to be disciplined enough in life in order to stay sharp and understand the right balance of everything coming your way and everything you are taking on.
What was once considered to be a respected and admirable quality has taken the backseat in this generation that doesn’t really know how to say no to anything. What we have ultimately become are a people that have forgot how to sacrifice and work hard. We opt for the easy way out, the sexy, the here and now and that is because the discipline is gone and we’re only after what appeases and appeals to us in the moment.

You Are Weak Minded
The separation of winners and failures occurs primarily within mindset, the state of mind you are in when you embark on your journey. Some people forget how important the mind is to playing the game of life. Your mind is what dictates your perception, which is what you use to propel you and push you.
If you ask any successful person, they will tell you that it’s all in your head. Your head is what determines how badly you want it and how much you are willing to give up for it. It controls your subconscious and it keeps your thoughts positive in order to motivate you.
