It took me a very long time to realize the significance of the concept of quality over quantity. Perhaps it's the society we reside in where usually more is better and getting free stuff is a tasty offer. It's simple to get wrapped up in going for the cheapest thing on the table because it's often the quickest thing to get. Thing is, this doesn't challenge you. I am absolutely a firm disciple of the indisputable fact that there are things, people and goals that can only be reached when you grow into them. When you are going for the cheap stuff, you are not cooked yet. The day you can really look yourself in the face and tell yourself that you aren't yet built to tackle something is a very grounding, fair, and yet above all...inspiring day.
I believe most people are disappointed in life not because they aim too high and miss, but because they target too low and hit.
You need to be ready to make sacrifices for your own personal good.
You've got to be happy to put your name on the board, write a goal with it, and give it everything you have.
And here's the kicker, you have to be truly willing to elevate yourself at least 1% every single day so as to turn yourself into something superb.
It's amazing the disconnect that happens when people search for happiness. What's interesting however, is when you don't seek it...it actually comes to you. I didn't search for happiness completely. I didn't try to be cheerful at all. However, I fortunately didn't take part in the typical "just be happy with whatever happens" rubbish either. What I did was work on improving upon myself, doing the things which I knew would make me a better person, and when it was right... I let happiness find me.
There's so much out there about being happy... but I suspect anything, especially when it's involved around an emotion, when tried at too hard can essentially end up being a disaster or completely inauthentic. I suspect, ultimately, making incremental improvements to yourself and letting contentment find you because you really are being the best version of yourself will deliver you larger joy long-term.
The bedrock of your best self is going to be built on the foundation of sacrifice. Are you ready to do the things today that others do not ever do? Are you pleased to do the things that you know you are literally capable of but are really hard? It is hard to look yourself in the face sometimes and say I really am going to challenge my potential today. "
