Tonight (or more like this morning because it’s 4:30am and I haven’t slept yet) I realised that a lot of the barriers holding me back from being where I want to be are mental. I love knowing how far people have gone because in a sense it inspires me to be better. My logic regarding that is the following: How can you want to be successful if you don’t know what success consists of or what a successful individual looks like? That type of rational where you put a face or an accomplishment to your idea of success can be toxic though. People break boundaries and make breakthroughs all the time and if you think like that, then every time there’s a new ceiling for what being successful means, you will begin to believe that your goal is moving further away from you (because you feel as though you aren’t enough anymore to achieve it) which just isn’t true. When you know better, you do better. Progress is the heart of opportunities. And believing in yourself is the heart of progress. The definition of success will always fluctuate but that doesn’t make it intangible.
