Determination and confidence are truly all a human needs to reach the immortality of success.
When we have a goal or ambition in mind, it would seem prudent to always march forward in the direction of that success – constantly in training to become that perfect state of being we envision ourselves to be, even if only in dreams. Along the way, we must do many beautiful and seemingly sickening things.
The beautiful ones are evident, we must always become better and improve those around us. We must always search for ways to share our success and build a culture of growth around ourselves. Building those steps that lead others to Olympus are great, but everything comes at a price.
The price is, in many ways, a constant a painful form of self-destruction. We must be willing to let go of our old selves and assassinate whatever is within ourselves that holds us back.
This means letting go of trauma from our past – that which gets in the way of us being our best.
We have to be confident in our decision to remove growths that we carry around because they disguise themselves as strength when they are truly malignant.
To reach this mythical state of personal perfection we have to be willing to know what parts and memories within ourselves no longer deserve to join us on our journey.
The truth is we will almost always have these mental parasites with us – we must nurse our minds, figure out how to remove the ones that hold us back.
The beauty of it is, once we figure out how, we can then use what we know to assist the next conscious intellectual that happens along.
Through this process of constant growth we can all reach goals of immortality. We need determination and confidence, this is the beautifully sad truth of great people. They have reached those pinnacles because they have killed so many of those painful happinesses that they now get to experience true bliss.
Everything comes at a price though … everything.
