Not living up to what’s expected of you is the biggest failure in life. Right?
Wrong.
It’s what you decide it will be.
For me, the biggest failure of all you can do is to give up your uniqueness; the one thing only you can bring to the table, the thing that makes you stand out.
Think about that. Now, the following:
Ironically that’s where traditional institutions (i.e. school/college/university) are exceptionally good at—at eradicating your uniqueness.
Look. From a very young age each one of us is forced to go to school, we learn a bunch of unnecessary stuff (while leaving out the things that truly matter, e.g. how to deal with money, confidence, unconditional love, freedom, peace of mind, and the list goes on), we base our level of success and happiness on external forces (e.g. marks for standardized exams), and most of us have a very bad neuro-association with the word “school.”
But why to go through all of this? WHY?
Because they don’t want you and me to succeed and be happy.
They want you and me to become obedient workers.
It’s literally: school = brainwashing^10
Talking about a scam or dirty lie isn’t that far-fetched.
See, all they are interested in is that you “function.”
That you fit in the system we all call life. We get accustomed to:
- Go to school
- Get good grades
- Get a High-paying Job
- Work Hard
- Live Below Your Means
- Save Money
- Get out of Debts
- Have a Good Retirement Plan
(If you’ve noticed, I refer to the book “Rich Dad Poor Dad” by Robert Kiyosaki. In case you haven’t read it yet, do it … it’s a must-read.)
However, today you have the unique opportunity to embark on a different course—your unique path.
Once you do that, you embark on what I call “The Highly Inspiring Journey.”
It’s when you start rediscovering the best within yourself, when you keep trusting yourself, and when you keep staying true to who you really are.
That’s why you hear me say over and over and over again:
Embrace your essence. Enjoy the journey.
