Came across this article during my lunch break and was curious what others might think of it:
Why most people will never be successful
Some interesting quotes from the article:
Why most people will never be successful
Some interesting quotes from the article:
"Success" isn't just having lots of money. Many people with lots of money have horribly unhappy and radically imbalanced lives.
Success is continuously improving who you are, how you live, how you serve, and how you relate.
So why won't most people be successful?
The more evolved you become, the more focused you must be on those few things which matter most. Yet, as Jim Rohn has said, "A lot of people don't do well simply because they major in minor things."
To be successful, you can't continue being with low-frequency people for long periods of time.
You can't continue eating crappy food, regardless of your spouse's or colleague's food choices.
Your days must consistently be spent on high-quality activities.
This isn't about perfection. It's definitely not about being busy all the time. Actually, the balance of true success involves what Tim Ferriss calls "mini-retirements" or regular sabbaticals.
Yet, if your daily behaviors are consistently low quality, what do you expect your life's output to be?
