mythical state of personal perfection

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.
