And when you come face to face with the inevitable adversity, know that life might take the material gains.
It might demand a price you deem to be steep.
It might collect as a toll assets you've been accumulating along the way.
But it can't take what you know or who you've become.
And that is why you execute.
To build the world around you, yes, but most importantly, to build yourself into someone who can thrive in such an environment.
It's in doing that the man is built.
And as was said in Gary Keller's book, The One Thing, build the man...
And the world falls into place.
The world reflects back at us what we currently are.
like a giant mirror projecting the movie that's playing in our heads.
We lay on the horn in traffic, not when we're at peace with ourselves, but when we're in duress.
We gravitate towards the negative, not when we're living in abundance, but when we're living in scarcity.
We quit, retreat, contract, not when we're confident in the road ahead, but when we're doubtful, alarmed,
In other words, we find out in the world what already lives within us.
Life in many ways is not absolute, it's evidence.
It's evidence that we'll use to justify the things we already believe.
Wayne Dyer used to use the metaphor of an orange.
It can be squeezed and squeezed and squeezed, but there will never be grapefruit juice pouring out of an orange.
No, grapefruit juice doesn't live there.
