I love performing well. I have big goals, a clear vision for my future, and a strong desire to succeed. However, success is a problematic term.

It means something different to everyone. Your definition of succeeding might be completely unsexy for me, and vice versa.

Yet, when I talk about success, two major components are essential to me:

  • Freedom (being location independent, working whenever I want, financial freedom, etc.)
  • Reaching goals (especially those I’ve set for myself)

I don’t compare myself to anyone else. I don’t see a point in it, so I don’t do it. Life is no competition at all. There is enough abundance for all of us. The sad reality, however, is that not everyone is eager to have it all.

In fact, only very few people have the mindset of a winner and thrive for succeeding in all they do. The majority, on the other hand, wants to keep doing what they’ve always done.

Well, I don’t like being average. And neither should you.

Did you know that the sheer odds of you being born were close to zero?
