They're less special.

They're usually not even that smart, right?

So it's like, I think sometimes the smarter people are the ones that overthink everything.

Sometimes the people who are successful just kind of

average.

They're not the smartest people.

They're not the dumbest people, but they just do it.

Well, I'll just do it.

That's the way it goes.

They simply mastered the thing that most people will never do.

They've just learned how to keep showing up long enough after all the excitement wears off.

They just do the boring things long enough to succeed.

It is literally the fucking story of the tortoise and the hare because winners understand that success isn't built on like

perfect days or best days.

Success is built by doing the small things day in, day out, regardless of how they feel.

And if you do that long enough, you will eventually outlast everybody who you're competing against for whatever industry that you're in and you will win and you will succeed.

And so winning at life, whatever that means to you,

whether that's money, whether that's success, whether that's love, whether that's relationships, whether that's joy, happiness, traveling, whatever it might be, it's not hard.

It's not rocket science.

It requires you to think long-term, think longer than everybody else, to take action regardless of how you feel and to build systems that help you make taking action easier on yourself.
