All good things happen when they’re supposed to.

So that as soon as you push faith in one direction or another, you instantly lose hope of obtaining what you’re desperate for.

This may sound like an esoteric, detached-from-reality, but it’s not, and I’ll show you why now.

1- How to Get It All Easily

The people who get everything in life are those who already have everything.

Billionaires, famous singers, and top-level sportspeople can reach the girls you can’t. Or get in touch with almost anyone down this earth with a disconcerting ease.

They can release a book tomorrow to earn more money. Or they can retire and live off their existing savings.

But all the good things that seem to come easily result from years of sacrifice and extraordinary talent.

All those things… are not the reason for their efforts, but the consequences of the pursuit of a greater ideal. Something beyond themselves.

They didn’t become world champions in the 100-meter dash for the girls, money or to impress Elon Musk. They did it because they believed it was their purpose.
