Why Even Ambitious People Rarely Become Successful

Success is not extrinsic… It’s not measurable.

“Success” can only truly occur internally because it is based on emotion.

The Myth Of The “Unchanging” Self

“Become a millionaire not for the million dollars, but for what it will make of you to achieve it.” — Jim Rohn

Interestingly, in our Western Culture, we falsely emphasize fixed traits and “personality” types. We believe very strongly in an unalterable “nature” which is uninfluenced and untouched by the environments in which we reside.

as you learn new things over time, your brain literally creates new connections and is reshaped. The brain you will have in a year from now will literally be a different brain than the one you have now. Especially if you consciously reshape how you see and live in the world.

You create an environment that facilitates your commitment because you know that as a person, you take on the form of your environment. The only agency you truly have is to choose the influences that shape you, both internally and externally.

Only Those Who Are Committed Succeed

Being ambitious isn’t honorable. Wanting more for your life is a common desire.

This “authentic” self is your worst enemy. It’s the excuse you have for not evolving. It’s your justification for not committing to something bigger and better. It’s the chain around your neck, stopping you from putting yourself into situations that will demand you become a better version of you.
