In America, many people are searching for the extreme versions of success, and we’ve been conditioned to see significantly above average levels of success as the baseline.
Drake meme:
Working out, sleeping well, and eating reasonably to stay in shape = meh
Having 8 pack abs, 20″ biceps & being able to 360 dunk a basketball = YEAH, that’s what I’m talkin’ bout!
If you’re going to have extreme success, I think it often takes some extreme variables in the equation. That might be extreme talent (or extreme wealth or extreme-ly valuable personal/professional networks), such that extreme work isn’t required.
But sometimes extreme work and discipline is necessary if you want to achieve extreme results.
You may decide at some point you no longer value obtaining some extreme result enough to continue it’s pursuit. I think that’s wise, as I’ve found the cost is too high and life is too short.
