Everybody will congratulate you when you get :
Your picture on stage
Raised funds
6 then 7, 8… figures…
Bought your new car
Signed your new contract
Received your diploma
Won your medal
Achieved that performance...
Nobody is going to congratulate you when :
You get up early in the morning to go to work
You've made THE decision that scares you
You take that extra step when you're at your limit
You've tried 1,000 times and failed 999 times
You took the 100th rejection
You persevered after yet another failure
You stayed up late working instead of going out for a drink and a party.
Conclusion:
Success is built in the shadows, when no one is looking!
Focus on your efforts and your evolution... The results will be a consequence!
Base your self-esteem and confidence on what you control: your character and your ability to learn + progress!
