Greatness is not that complicated at all, it's simply choosing the right thing to do that will put you on a better position to succeed. It's simply choosing the right thoughts, actions, words and options that will give you a brighter life in the future. It's like investing, some people think that doing this or doing that will never affect their lives but the reality is every action will affect their lives, it may not look harmful now but it will do damage to them in the future. It's a compound effect, it's like smoking, you may not feel the effect for now but wait for a few years and it will scare you. So if you are consistent on practicing, studying, working hard then you're already on the path to greatness, just wait and never stop, be patient and keep doing what you've been doing even if you're not seeing any results yet.
There is no shortcut, you really have to pay your dues, you really have to stay disciplined all day and become fast in doing your tasks. Be a doer not a watcher, if you want to become great then you need to feel like a machine, you need to stay busy everyday trying to get better. You may not believe that you are great but you need to do the process even if you're really frustrated. You will get sick and tired with the process, you will get sick and tired of your life but that is what greatness is all about... you stick with the process no matter how you feel, you don't quit, you keep pushing forward even if you feel that there is no results coming in. Because at the end of the day you will get worse if you don't discipline yourself, you will never achieve anything if you will be like others who were lazy and not pushing themselves to get better. In order to get to another level you need to make sacrifices, choose the right way, choose what puts you on a better position to become successful.
You know what will work you just can't choose the boring path. Training, studying, practicing, meditating, avoiding laziness... these are the path to greatness, you just need to choose them but it's hard to pick these activities because partying, watching TV, eating junk food is more easy and accessible, there is no hardship in doing these stupid stuffs that's why most people choose them. That's why most people are broke and unhappy. Choosing the easier path without sacrifices and pain will give you a miserable life in the future, it will make you lost, it will give you a lot of regrets, it will make you a negative person because you will get jealous with people who are thriving. So work hard now, even if it is hard... just do it, even you feel lazy... just start it and follow through.
Once you discipline your mind choosing the right things... you will become unstoppable, you will get better and better each day, you will never care about the nonsense things anymore, you will feel happier, you will feel free, you will have more time, you will never be in a hurry anymore because you're always doing the right things. People who are rushing doesn't have discipline in their lives that's why they're always panicking, they're always late, they're always picking the wrong choices.
