The lied to us about Success, they told us to be patient to wait for success to come to us. But success does not come to people. People go to success. But if you stroll to success, success might be gone by the time you get there. And if success is still there, then life might be gone in us…cue newly retired 60-year-old man driving red Ferrari with all his life ahead of behind him…sad
You see success is a goal…but walking/strolling to success is not an option. So when people say, I know you will be successful … ask them “but how soon!” Because the earlier you achieve success or make successful mistakes the sweeter your success is. There is no little point achieving success at a 100 years old.
So remember, success is a race…you have to wake up everyday and figure out how you can get where you need to be faster than the day before. Don’t wait for success to come to you, chase that Bitch down!
