It took me a long time to truly realize the significance of the concept of quality over quantity. It could be it is the society we live in where usually more is better and getting free junk is an attractive offer. It's simple to get wrapped up in going for the least valuable thing on the table because it's often the easiest thing to get. Thing is, this does not challenge you. I am absolutely a firm believer of the fact that there are things, people and goals that can only ever be reached when you grow into them. When you are going for the cheap stuff, you aren't cooked yet. The day you can look yourself in the face and tell yourself that you are not yet built to tackle something is an exceedingly grounding, truthful, and yet above all...inspiring day.
I think the majority are disappointed in life not because they aim far too high and miss, but because they focus too low and hit.
You need to be pleased to make sacrifices for your own greater good.
You have to be pleased 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 truly elevate yourself at least 1% each and every day so as to turn yourself into something extraordinary.
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 stopped my search for contentment completely. I actually did not try to be cheerful at all. However, I fortunately didn't partake 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 more fulfilled person, and when it was right... I let real happiness find me.
There's so much out there about being happy... but I suspect anything, even more when it's concerned around an emotion, when tried at too hard can essentially finish up being a disaster or completely inauthentic. I believe, long-term, making incremental changes to yourself and letting happiness find you because you're being the best version of yourself will deliver you bigger joy in the end.
The bedrock of your greatest and best self is going to be built on the foundation of sacrifice. Are you really willing to do the things today that others do not do? Are you pleased to do the things that you know you are really capable of but are really tough? It's hard to look yourself in the face sometimes and say I really am going to challenge my potential today. "
