Success

Success usually comes at the end of struggle; if it came easily, everybody would be experiencing it. When it comes to success, there are no shortcuts, reduced prices, or ‘special deals’. The value of anything is determined by the price you’re willing to pay for it. And when you truly value something, you won’t easily jeopardise it because you remember what it cost you.
What are you afraid of today?
Failing?
Your concern should be the opposite‒regret that you didn’t try.
Are you afraid of criticism?
Face it, as you move upward in life certain people will resent your success; that’s true whether you’re arrogant or not.
We all want to be liked, but at some point you’ve got to ask yourself, ‘How much am I willing to forfeit in order to be liked and accepted?’
Advancement often brings isolation and criticism.
Can you handle it? Not everybody can; but if you’re the kind of person who can’t sit on the sidelines and watch while others play the game‒go for it!
