You want more in life? Do more. There is no shortcut to where you are going. There are hacks and there will be luck along the way. But ultimately, you're going to have to do the work. Being successful in life is not all about intelligence. You will most likely become intelligent along the way, but it is really about discipline. Doing things other people don't want to do. Be consistent and bearing it out until you get where you want to be. This doesn’t mean it won't be joyful along the way, it will be.... because you will learn by action that most the things you were avoiding aren’t really that bad at all.
