The Path of Life: Get What You Want in Life – From One Article?
Here’s the deal, life is really simple. No, really, it is. Now, for the sake of this article let’s assume we can take out extraneous situations from the fringes such as if you were born with horrible disfigurations or are extremely wealthy already, etc. If that does describe you and you’re still reading this article, then we commend you and just by showing the effort and determination to read about health, training, nutrition and wellness we know you are on the right path.
For the rest of you that have no excuses, no horrible debilitating diseases nor family riches, let’s see where your problems lie. Look, we’ve all heard the rags-to-riches stories of famous athletes, entertainers and business people. These people have overcome tragedy, travesty, poverty, abus (physical/mental/emotional/sexual) and basically the worst set of odds anyone would ever have in their lives and traded it for success. How they did it, well, that is the million dollar question now isn’t it? Guts, grit, hard-work, determination, being able to look forward, luck, some of the above, all of the above? They just did it. They used all that but most of all they just did it every day. They woke up, and kept pushing to get where they wanted to be at, and they did it again the next day and next day and so on. Once they hit their goals they kept pushing further and further. Not once per week or once per month, but every day. Why? They couldn’t live any other way other than to create their own destiny. Remember – stagnation is a bad place to be in.
Let’s be honest – what are the things you have wanted for yourself that you haven’t achieved yet? What are the dreams that you do not even TRY to work towards? How many people do you know in your life (I would venture to say most all of them?) that are in the same boat? Not happy with who they are or what situations they are in, but yet, not moving to change that very quickly either. Let’s talk specifics, and trust me when I say nothing is out of the question. What could you possibly want that you think is impossible? For I assure you, everything does have a path to it. Some paths are harder to attain, some take longer but in the end, they are all attainable.
I Want to be a Famous Athlete -
What it takes: Yes, some good genes help but beyond that years (not months) of consistent, painful training and nutrition, sacrifice of time spent with friends/family, positive mindset, flexibility to move to wherever is required to play (from small towns in Iowa to playing basketball in Europe), patience to learn from your teammates and coaches.
I Want to be a Famous Actor -
What it takes: Same as above with maybe a little less focus on nutrition/training but more tolerance for rejection akin to cold-calling, playing the ‘Hollywood’ game which is basically selling your soul and doing what is best for your career at a moment’s notice, being surrounded continuously in an industry which isn’t kind or concerned about your feelings but rather has all sorts of dysfunctional people abound and in general is more concerned about market share and positioning, like most industries. Perseverance beyond what you can imagine. The person who moves to LA and gives it a go for five years before slinking back home to mediocrity could have been 3 months removed from a life-changing audition.
I Want to be a Famous Musician -
What it takes: Re-read above and just add in intense amounts of musical training. Everyone’s a musician. Rarely any are good. Rarely any from that even smaller group will ever amount to anything commercially. Can you tour in small, no-name bars and clubs regionally for $40/night in pay for your share of the band’s take with 10 people half-listening to you in the audience? Can you repeat for 3 years to build a following? How tolerant are you to Ramen noodles and Mac n Cheese as your food staples? Unlike athletes or actors in most situations, now you must also be basically married to band-mates and add that friction to the implosive nature.
I Want to Run a Successful Business -
What it takes: Talk about perseverance! Great ideas, patience, business management skills, ability to raise money (should be an article on its own!), be self-motivated (MUCH harder than it sounds), well read, great instincts (which can be developed over time but now we’re talking a harder goal all comprised), timing, ability to play the ‘corporate politics’ game and not get burnt out on the typical evils of business.
I Want to Marry a Famous Model/Actor -
What it takes:
1. Become who they would want to be with.
2. Get inside their world.
When Jennifer Aniston first went out with Brad Pitt, rumor has it that she researched all the things he was into so that he would like her more. Effort and investment people. How do you become who they would want to be with? First, make yourself into the best you person you would want to be! Become emotionally stable (even though you may not want to be with them once you achieve this, but we digress), get in the shape you want to be in/someone famous would want to be with, become well-read in general along with the stuff they are interested in (no matter how kooky). A lot of work, but the harder part now is getting inside their world. Move to where they live. Work at places they frequent (hot clubs, restaurants – hey it’s happened before), cater for them, get on movie sets in higher level production careers, work at talent agencies and move your way up. Work with their managers and lawyers. This will take years to accomplish but when you do, your life will be forever changed. We can’t wait to see you in the tabloids!
I Just Want to Find True Love -
What it takes: Take everything you know from movies or the general media and throw it away. Invest. Devote. Open up. Stop settling. Read about true chemistry. Do a lot of the stuff above in making yourself the person you want to be first. Love yourself truly. It’s simple but I guarantee most will not be able to do it.
Meet people like crazy. Be picky. Learn. Repeat. Do not settle.
I Want to be President -
What it takes: Look, history has been made with our first African-American president (albeit half), and there will one day likely be a female president, an atheist president and even a gay president. What is stopping you? Do a lot of the above steps to better yourself, go into local politics, READ and get educated, get a law degree (as many Presidents/Congress members have had), become accomplished, run for offices and repeat. Do your job well, learn how to campaign better and repeat.
Now learn Why You Are Likely Not on the Path to Any of These Things.
