The first point suggests that challenges can feel overwhelming if one remains stagnant. The second acknowledges that success is achievable but may not always align with one's desires. The third underscores the importance of ambition and initiative in achieving goals. Additionally, the idea that choices come with consequences highlights the importance of action or inaction in shaping our lives.

What more better ways to achieve success than the steps you listed. It was actually on point. The last step was more accurate than ever. To achieve success we should be willing to do those things that will lead us to success.

They are deep. The first and third points seem to contradict, but I recognise the deep meanings. My favourite is the second point; success is a choice!

I agree with the notion that success is attainable with commitment and a well-defined strategy. However, as I find myself at a crossroads in life, making a difficult decision adds another layer of consideration to the process. It's essential to carefully assess my options and their alignment with my objectives and principles. By thoroughly evaluating each choice, I can make a more informed decision and enhance the chances of success in the path I ultimately select

I am happy even when I run sweating and panting in terrible discomfort on a treadmill because I know it is what I want to being do, and as soon as I don't want to be doing it, I hit stop.
Of everything in this post, this resonated with me the most as it's what I do. I love running, I love the endorphins it releases, I love the muscle it builds in my legs, and I love the feeling of taking big gulps of air as I exert myself. What I don't love is the feeling of exhaustion, or the knee and leg cramps. But I want to keep going as I love the feeling of completing my daily running goal. I want to achieve this goal every day, and I do it, and when I'm done, I hit stop! This 45–60 minutes every day is my happy time, and I do it purely because I want to do it.

Hi Scott

There is one thing that we all have to do and that is to die. Some people say pay tax as well and that is true to a certain extent. If you earn a salary, your employer will deduct tax, if you buy anything, tax is part of the price. However, I can see scenarios where you don't have to pay tax. Mostly when we say we have to do something, it's a referral to the price that is too high, not actually not having a choice.

When you say people almost always get what they want, there are many exceptions. Nobody chooses disease, to be robbed, to be shot, etc. How you respond to it is a choice.

Thank you for sharing.

I'm enjoying your analysis of achieving whatever one want. Your analysis comes from an open mind and thought outside the box. I haven't read everything in the writeup yet I've gained an important insight, which is to get what I want I should know that there is always a price to pay. It's not an absolute thing to do, but for the sake of achieving my goal, it's necessary that I do it. This is thought provoking. Well done boss! Well done Scott.

Yes, determination is the key to success. There are no two ways about it. One must work hard in order to attain success.

If you are staying put and not moving, then the first statement is accurate. The second point is only partially accurate, suggesting that while success is possible, one does not always achieve their goals. In general, the third point is accurate. It takes a go-getter to succeed in life.
