Why you might be Failing 🔻 🔻 🔻

and how to WIN...

In the midst of adversity, lies opportunity. It is through overcoming challenges that we discover our true strength and pave the way to triumph.

- Albert Einstein

It's a paradox that those who begin with the least can emerge as the true victors in the end. Being raised in poor conditions, facing hardships and limited opportunities may seem like a disadvantage. However, this is exactly what propels some individuals to work really hard and it is those who have their survival at stake actually win.

I have seen this first hand with two of my dear friends. Both come from very small villages in India, and keeping food on the table was itself a challenge for their families. Now, both of them in their mid 20s have senior positions in tech roles and make an upward of 120k USD working from India. Which is a lot!!

One thing which is common in both apart from poverty and lack of resources was that they knew that not succeeding wasn’t an option, it was either succeed or scum to you circumstances. And that’s what made all the difference!!

But what about Us, who have grown in moderately well or better circumstance!! Is that our excuse to stay average, that we don’t have our survival at Stake. However, the lack of urgency and the safety net that often accompany privilege can sometimes hinder the pursuit of truly ambitious goals. When individuals don't feel the sting of failure or the pressure to succeed, they may settle for less.

This doesn't mean that people who are well off are at a disadvantage, but they should make their aspiration, dreams and goals big enough that they feel that anything less than that is a failure and that creates the hunger for success.

Here’s how you can change it!! the answer is Dreams and Goals!!

Make your dreams and goals so so big that achieving anything less is living a worthless life!!

Sit and Imagine what would the best version of you have! A great body!? A villa with and infinity swimming pool facing the ocean, 3-5-10 Sports cars, a yacht, a jet, an amazing wife, a billion $ company, just sit and visualise that.

Now you have something BIG to LOSE. Now if you stay the way you are, you will loose all of this!!

Let this be the driver!
