Speaker: Welcome to the We Are Driven podcast, quick hit episode 141. My name is Arun Kumar and I am the driver. Today, I just want to give you a quick reminder.
Speaker: In order to achieve truly large and difficult goals that set you apart from the masses of society, you have to commit to doing things that the masses of society are not willing to do. You have to commit to working hard. You have to commit to sacrificing your weekends. You have to commit to cutting out bad food from your diet. You have to commit to sleeping less. You have to commit to not bitching about the man. You have to commit to not living paycheck to paycheck, but instead figure out the best way to invest every dollar you have.
Speaker: This big goal set that you have requires substantial commitment to sacrifice. If you do not recognize that and you opt instead to forego that sacrifice, to continue indulging in whatever stupid fucking pleasures you think are the better option for your life, you will fall short of achieving your goals. That, or you will achieve easy, mundane goals that you set upon the influence of the masses of society. You will not be part of the echelon that transforms it. Your name will not be remembered.
Speaker: So you have to pick. Do you want your name to be remembered? Do you want to make such a substantial impact on the world that you can go to your deathbed with satisfaction? Or will you regret all those times that you didn't do the thing that you know was the most impactful thing? And I ask myself this every fucking day. I ask myself this every day because I fall short.
Speaker: I fall short of doing everything that I should be doing in my commitment to the absolute best version of myself that I can be. So this is a reminder for me as much it is is a reminder for you.
Speaker: I do this because I care. I do this because I want to see all of us who listen to this succeed and emerge as the future leaders of our society, because all of us driven people who listen to this can earn it.
Speaker: But the key word there is we can. We're not fucking entitled to. You have to get up every day and commit more to this goal set than you ever thought was possible. You can realize the new American dream of maximum physical capability, thriving financial success and doing what you love, but it is going to take sacrifice. It is going to take difficulty and it is going to take making hard decisions that in the moment you don't want to make.
Speaker: But I want that for you. I want you to remember that. And I want you to take this episode, get back to fucking work and stay driven.
