Not Everyone is Meant to Make it to the Top
Are You One of Them?
Success isn’t just about dreaming big—it’s about doing the work that most people won’t. The truth is, not everyone is going to make it to the top. Why? Because it takes more than wanting it. It requires grit, action, and relentless pursuit. The real question is: Are you one of the few who will rise above?
Why Most People Won't Make It
Most people won’t achieve their dreams, not because they lack ambition, but because they lack action. They have good intentions, but intentions without effort are meaningless.
Think about it:
Most people talk about starting that business but never do.
Most people dream of getting in shape but don’t stay consistent.
Most people want to improve themselves but remain stuck in the same habits.
Most people fantasize about success but rarely take the first step.
The harsh reality?
Most will remain dreamers because they won’t do what it takes to get where they want to go.
Are You Really Putting in the Work?
You think you’re putting in the work, but are you? Let’s break it down. Do you find yourself busy but not productive? Are you taking shortcuts when no one’s watching? Here’s what you should be asking yourself:
Did I work harder today than I did yesterday?
Did I put in the effort that will lead to long-term success?
Did I push through discomfort, or did I quit when it got hard?
Stop Thinking You’re Special
Here’s the truth: You’re not special—at least not until you prove it. Look around at your coworkers, your friends, your family. Everyone believes they’re working hard, but are they really?
Your coworker tells their partner they had a long day, but did they? Or did they spend half the day in meetings and the other half taking long breaks? The truth is, most people aren’t giving 100%, but they convince themselves they are. So, ask yourself: Are you any different?
What about your family? Do they live the way you aspire to live?
Are they truly healthy and thriving?
Do they make sound financial decisions?
Do they take calculated risks to improve their lives?
If not, how often do you hear them complain? Do they wish for success but never take steps toward it? Now, look at yourself. Are you doing the same—wishing for a different life, but settling for comfort and procrastination?
Be honest:
Do you talk about success, or are you actually working for it?
What’s Holding You Back?
The biggest obstacle isn’t your job, your circumstances, or your luck—it’s you. Are you letting fear or comfort stop you from putting in the effort that could change everything?
Am I truly pushing myself, or am I just going through the motions?
Do I let small failures stop me, or do I keep going?
Am I ready to sacrifice comfort for long-term success?
The Voice in My Head That Pushed Me
I remember when my mother told me, 'You think you’re special? You’re not.' Those words cut deep, and for a while, I believed them. I stopped pushing myself. But that voice in my head—the one that wouldn’t let me quit—kept telling me I was meant for more.
It took months of complacency before I snapped out of it. I realized that most people don’t obsess about growth and improvement. They dream about it. But me? I live it.
What Separates Achievers from Dreamers
What separates those who make it from those who don’t is simple: action.
When I noticed I wasn’t working out enough, I doubled down and got in the best shape of my life.
When I realized I was avoiding challenges, I started training harder and became better at Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
When I caught myself being complacent at work, I started taking initiative, brainstorming new ideas, and creating opportunities.
Success doesn’t come from wishful thinking. It comes from recognizing where you’re falling short and doing something about it.
Stop Talking—Start Doing
Everyone talks about success, but few actually do the work required to achieve it. Are you ready to stop dreaming and start doing? The only thing standing between you and your goals is your willingness to push harder, take action, and never stop.
