Don’t aim for fame and fortune.
Don’t aim for the adulation of the masses.
Don’t aim to be recognised in the street.
Don’t aim for overnight success.
Don’t take short-cuts.
Don’t give up after one (or 100) failures.
Just do what you do really well, every single day.
Aim for excellence.
Aim for consistency.
Look for opportunities to add value to your team, your clients, your field.
Look back on your portfolio with pride and satisfaction.
Aim for a job well done.
That will be enough.

Well said. A simple bit of wisdom that is difficult to implement consistently and with conviction, especially when it feels like the world around you is falling or trying to pull you down. However, the reward for staying true to yourself combined with, going for it fully and completely, with no excuses, each and every day… is knowing that success will rear its beautiful head in due course. I heard Bob Proctor say in a speech that the longer the fall, the greater the rise and that is important to remember, especially when in the midst of trying times. The reality is that life is sometimes hard. The other reality is that during those times you have choices and it is more productive to choose “aiming for a job well done” as Darren Poke, suggests. That will be enough.

What I hear you saying here is that we should be focused on our “why” not our “what.”
Once we understand “why” we were made for “x” our “what” will become more powerful!
If you haven’t heard Michael Jr. talk about this you should check out this video – It’s incredible:
