If you get the concept of a dog track, people are familiar with the greyhounds, they open the trap and they run around and people bet on who's going to win.
Not my scene, but for the purposes of metaphor, it should serve this quite well.
And any achievers listening to this, this is going to be an eye-opener.
So why do the dogs run?
They run because they're chasing a mechanical rabbit.
The question is, do they ever catch the rabbit?
No.
What if they run really fast?
No.
They just speed up the rabbit.
Speed up the rabbit.
What if they have a better trainer?
Speed up the rabbit still, yeah.
Sleep in a better kennel?
No.
No, right?
So the reason the dogs don't catch the rabbit is because by design, they can never catch the rabbit.
Now, replace greyhound with entrepreneur or achiever.
Replace rabbit with the goal you think is going to make you happy.
Now, if you look at the dogs at the end of a race, you ever see a greyhound at the end of the race?
