Two speakers discuss how pain and criticism can fuel personal growth instead of becoming excuses for failure. They explore the difference between chasing excellence and chasing fulfillment, and how to use dissatisfaction as motivation to actually improve.

This is going to sound crazy, but how do you get motivated? I tell them to just make a list of everyone who hurt you. Everyone who talks shit. Everyone said you couldn't do it. Look at that list every day. Because if you don't work hard, that means the haters win. Or worse, if you don't accomplish the goals that they said you couldn't accomplish. They weren't hating. Maybe they were just correct. Maybe it was just a fair assessment of your capability. Sometimes that extra hate can push you to another level. It's not the only fuel you want to run off.
I have something to say about that. This is like the pursuit of excellence versus the pursuit of fulfillment. Usually the lack of fulfillment. Some pain drives the pursuit of excellence. That's why most big success stories, they have some deep rooted pain inside of them that has driven that.
