Motivational Video - The Cost of Greatness

[Music] a word we throw around all the time is difficult how difficult was the journey me how hard is it going to be to succeed this is more or less asking is a desirable outcome likely we're asking for the worth our time right if something difficult we associate that with a low probability of success but that's not the right way of looking at it if you want something enough difficult becomes your best friend it's your greatest admin and this is one because of the growth that comes with it but two because very few people are willing to chase it down the reality is most people are average and that's just looking at the definition of the work right if everyone was great greatness wouldn't mean anything there's something special about it you meet it sets people apart we generally live amongst people places and expectations that make up everything we know that's our normal at our box but what's particularly interesting is that the people we celebrate the accomplishments we admire they go far beyond this sort of confined view of the world so where is the line something's weird it's abnormal it's looked down upon until suddenly it's not you snap your finger and it's cherished that guitar player practising 15 hours a day it's lame they don't have a real job they're not contributing anything to society and then he or she puts out an album that revolutionizes music and they're a hero the whole thought process is teller and truly and that's why the words difficult and great are so closely related not because it's physically stressed but because great comes with a hefty mental price tag difficult means you are consistently doing what the average normal and unspectacular deems to be too great a sacrifice they're not asking if it can be done they're not asking is it possible what they are really acting what they want to know because they have to break through everyday normality to achieve a result so we have to make ourselves uncomfortable who we have to give more than we normally would do we have to be better than we were yesterday if that answer is yes the vast majority say thank you but no thank you and that's where the finding opportunities open up great means you have the desire to set yourself apart difficult means you have the dedication and the drive to do the little thing no one else wanted to do there is nothing miraculous about greatness it is not divine it it's not incredible it's simply seeing the word difficult as a staircase instead of a brick wall it means you get the opportunity to both give more of yourself and get more from the world it is your secret door your passageway if the incremental progress that grows in the sacrifice are worth the prize easy difficult and everything in between fades away the only thing worth a second of your time is making sure that every step you take point you in the direction of where you want to be most you
