The Choice Is Yours Of What You Chase In Life

I want more.

Someone I came across has acquired or built brands exceeding $100,000,000. That’s what I want, I thought. My goal is to hold a group of companies that surpass $100M in yearly revenue — I’m slowly getting there.

I’m not jealous; I was motivated reading their success but felt like I’ve been doing it all wrong. As if I’m falling behind. I put mental pressure on myself to push harder.

But then I realized my journey is where I am right now.

Live your life and trust the process.

I’m not going to live my life clinging to a dream.

Nor am I going to let someone else’s success deter me. Whether I know them or not, I’m happy about their success. That’s their journey.

But today is today, and I have to be happy with the process.

If you’re stuck trying to achieve a goal, or you see someone winning when it feels like you’ve been slapped repeatedly in the face, that’s okay. It’s normal. But don’t let your emotions control the outcome.

Trust the process.

Do what you need to today to push you towards tomorrow. Don’t live for tomorrow, nor should you live in yesterday. Instead, embrace right now — this moment.
