You see. There's a reason why Humans have been able to survive for so long and become the dominant species on this planet. In the past, the goal was always to survive. Just slide by. Make it to tomorrow.

If you can avoid the black plague, or hide from the neighboring invading tribe. You survived.

We are the descendents of the most neurotic, anxious, fearful human beings that existed.

“"There's a lot of things that evolved for good reason about how we behave. The thing you're trying to avoid with saber tooth tigers or social banishment, the opposite is true if you want to invent something new, write, make a presentation, etc.” - Seth Godin

and this is the reality of living in 2018 and beyond…we are living in the physically safest & greatest time in human history.

We're all born into this world with a dream. A destiny, a date, a unique problem to solve here during our time on planet Earth.

These opinions, the things you hear from the people around you....is from the overlapping language of generations and generations of just making it by, surviving.

As David Goggins says - most people have opinions about something they've never done.

Because it's easier to judge than actually independently think. If you're not average...average people will pull you down to their level.

After interviewing hundreds of successful people I've learned...

They're not smarter, more talented, have better luck or anything like that

They take action despite their own thoughts, feelings and emotions.

The key is to take that same survival instinct we were born with and go on the offense to get what we want in life.
