You cannot control the weather You cannot control the stock market. You definitely cannot control the behavior of other people. One thing you CAN control is your pursuit towards excellence. In life, I have come across individuals who are content with just getting by while giving the minimum necessary in order to squeeze by and to stay under the radar. Hearing them speak, you can sense them still living in the past dwelling on all the reasons why they cannot do this or that. These are the people I call The Rest. I have also encountered those who hunger for challenges, enbrace obstacles in order to mold themselves and accomplish extraordinary things. I like to refer to these people as The 1 Percenters. In my personal opinion, and this is merely an opinion, the main thing that separates these 2 class of people is the instinctive desire to GET COMFORTABLE BEING UNCOMFORTABLE!!! Without the discipline of constantly exercising this muscle day in and day out, it is virtually impossible to grow. Regardless of whether you fail or succeed at a particular task, objective or challenge, the mere fact that you embraced the unknown in order to step out of your comfort zone makes you stronger. The ability to push weak excuses aside and (without hesitation) step across this potential pain barrier is what ultimately makes an ordinary person EXTRAORDINARY! Take an honest look in the mirror at your life, relationships, bank balance and health. Are you one of The 1 Percenters? Are you one of The Rest?
