Success in the top 5% requires accepting that suffering is unavoidable. You can choose the pain of discipline now or the pain of regret later, but there's no path without pain either way.

I think we have to go into it, if we choose that we want success, we have to go into it with the understanding, the knowledge, the expectation that suffering is going to be a part of the process, period. If you're chasing after success, if you want to live the top 5% life where you live life on your own terms, you're going to have to go through things that other people don't go through. It is a part of the process. There is no, There is no getting around it. There is no getting beyond it. You've got to go through it. That's what you've got to do. When you go in with that expectation, understand that even if you don't choose success, let's say you choose the other S, which is settling. You settle. Well, that comes with suffering too. That suffering comes at the end in the "I wish I would've," "I wish I should've," "I could've done this," "I could've done that and I did not." Why didn't I? Well, it's too late now. And so then you get, you know, that suffering. They say, and I love this, there's two types of pain. There's the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. Boom!
