Greatness Is For The Great




The Token Metrics Podcast show

Summary: There’s an excellent quote from Nietzsche that sums up the ideas above. It goes like this: “In the end, it must be as it is and always has been: great things remain for the great, abysses for the profound, nuances and shudders for the refined, and, in brief, all that is rare for the rare.” Great things remain for the great. Rare things remain for the rare. Let’s drill into that so you can fully internalize it. Not everyone can be Michael Jordan. Not everyone can be Tom Brady. Not everyone can be the President of the United States. Not everyone can win a Nobel Prize. Great things remain for the great, and rare things remain for the rare. If it were easy, everyone would be great; everyone would have rare things. Put that into perspective with whatever goal you’re trying to achieve. I internalized it, by realizing that everyone isn’t entitled to living a six-figure lifestyle. Evident by the number of people twice my age who had yet to achieve this goal. As a result, I had to be motivated to be great and rare at an early age if I wanted to achieve this lifestyle in my twenties. Thus, if you want to become Superman and achieve your fullest potential, you need to accept that it’s going to take a lot of hard work. The ride isn’t going to be straight nor smooth. You must have the will-power to turn every roadblock into an advantage. Website: http://ianbalina.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/diaryofamad...
