John Assaraf argues that most people survive instead of thrive, using Edison and the Wright brothers as examples of persistence through failure. He says you need to refuse limitations, embrace fear, and commit now to the life you actually want.
While most people just survive, some truly thrive. These innovators, adventurers and inventors are the dreamers, thinkers and doers. Committed to their success. They break the mold, see opportunity and challenge, follow their passion and make it happen. And they persist in the face of failure, the first real step towards success. Many great business leaders were broke, bankrupt and busted multiple times before succeeding. Some of the world's greatest scientists and thinkers met with numerous setbacks before a breakthrough. Thomas Edison and the Wright Brothers experienced thousands of failures before their ideas came to light and took flight. These celebrities, athletes, artists and writers all either dropped out or were denigrated, depressed, dismissed, denied, dejected and rejected over and over again. On the path to success, the Dalai Lama says, live one day at a time and make it a masterpiece. To achieve your success, choose and do whatever it takes. Be willing to do what others won't Create new circumstances Feel fear and do it anyway. Refuse to accept limitations and refuse to be average. Make up your mind right now to succeed no matter what Create the life you want as the masterpiece it is meant to be. Commit and do it now it's really your choice. Survive or thrive.
