Every day, millions of people are reading books, scrolling through social media, or perusing blogs, seemingly desperate for a shortcut or hack to make their lives easier.
But what if life isn’t meant to be so easy?
Most people think the opposite of success is failure, but that’s way off base. I believe the opposite of success is mediocrity. In the real world, failure is an integral part of success. Failures allow you to learn lessons, modify strategies, and develop the necessary character to become successful.
Failures are not dead-end outcomes. Unless you quit, and then you’ve ended the story. The entrepreneur (Or artist, organizer, or visionary) who doesn’t make mistakes doesn’t make anything.
Think about the stuff that really matters in life. It’s hard.
- Being in relationships is hard. Not being in relationships is harder.
- Staying healthy is hard. Being sick is harder.
- Living your dreams is hard. Not living your dreams is harder.
Pretty much everything that really matters is hard. The real question is…
What’s important enough that you’re willing to suffer or sacrifice for?
Peace,

When Aerosmith was recording their big comeback albums in Vancouver, Tyler was trying to come up with some lyrics with Jim Vallance, Bryan Adams old song writing partner and he said, fuck, this is hard and Vallance said, Steven, if this was easy, everybody would do it.. Eric Worre before he went off the rails on those crypto scams said in a training video, when people say network marketing is hard, it is, but that's your opportunity... cheers Napa David
The more you read, the more confused you become. Any result is good if you manage not to quit halfway and complete the task. Overthinking and comparison make everything feel mediocre. However, approaches like “there’s no plan B” or “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” often lead to a dead end, leaving the body and soul wounded by countless failures. No races, no expectations, no pretending to be a girl with muscles —just live your life. I read this somewhere and now remind myself of it to keep my mind at peace.
I follow this blog because its author, Mr. RG, is the person through whose work I first learned about self-development as a key to prosperity.
Spiritually, physically, financially, the hard road is not crowded and the drive is very rewarding !
