How badly do you want it? How hard are you willing to work for it?

Successful people aren’t successful because they’re lucky. They are successful because they wanted success badly enough to do whatever it took to become successful. What is it going to take for you to become successful? If you don’t have any idea you need to figure it out; and once you’ve figured it out you need to figure out if you really want success badly enough to do whatever you’re going to have to do to get it.

It’s easy to sit around and mope. It’s easy to quit. It’s easy to convince yourself that it’s not worth the trouble to bother because you’re not going to succeed anyway. It’s so much easier to accept failure than to fight for success. It’s also easier to settle for whatever comes than to go after what you want; but the only way you’re going to get what you want out of life at this point is to go after it and do whatever it takes to get it.
