Jerry Seinfeld’s Brilliant Advice for Finding Success
We all need to find the torture we are comfortable with.
“Your blessing in life is when you find the torture you’re comfortable with.”
What separates your current state from your ideal self is ambition, dedication, and hard work.
All hard work comes with pain and sacrifice, and to make it through, you need to face your demons, and confront the cunning voice of doubt in your head.
All of it is a kind of torture: the early mornings, the long hours, the injuries and uncertainties.
But if something is important enough, you take the torture willfully because your long-term fulfillment is superior to momentary happiness. You embrace the torture because you pursue your higher purpose — your self-actualization. The goal makes the unbearable endurable.
Whether it’s art, science, business, or sport, your job is to find the torture you are comfortable with. Then you’ve found your purpose in life.
