What leads people to be successful? Is it intelligence? Is it good looks? Is it luck?
When I look at the most successful people in the eye and ask them what inspires them to keep pushing after they have everything they ever wanted, only one word comes to mind.
Hunger.
Humans are born with a hunger to survive and once we know that we will be able to survive, people lose that hunger. Few people build up an appetite to thrive. That appetite becomes a hunger.
It was Mark Twain who said "The two most important days in your life are the day you were born, and the day you find out why."
When you are fueled with your why, you are born again. You now make it your mission to thrive with a purpose and passion. Your hunger is alive and fueled by the fire of reason.
Most people are too busy in survival mode and they do not realize that survival mode is stopping them from becoming aware, more passionate, more purposeful.
Feeling resigned, blaming circumstance and giving up with cynicism. Why? Because living in the comfort zone is popular. We are social beings and we don't want to be seen as crazy or out of our mind.
The pangs of hunger makes us crazy. People get out of their mind, when they feel that hunger and they do things that are not popular. That hunger gets us results and nothing can stop us when we are hungry.
You want success, look for hunger. You want more, find your purpose. You can't find your purpose? Create it.
"For me life is continuously being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer." - Arnold Schwarzenegger
Hang around people who are hungrier than you and you will build an appetite. Watch them ravish life and devour it with full on and total enthusiasm.
Realize that when you find that hunger, you will get out of your mind and be in the zone. If you are in your head, you are dead. Get out of the jar so you can read the label and choose your path.
Ready to feel free? Ready to breakthrough? You might need to break down first, you might need to face your greatest fears to find freedom.
Follow your stress and it will lead you to your fears, overcome your fears and you will be free. Find freedom and you will have peace and vitality.

7 年Love it! Good stuff, Joe. I agree with all of your points. I know a few people, who have become more successful than they ever though that they could and you hit the nail on the head...HUNGER is what go them there! Sure, they are intelligent. Yes, there may have been a streak of luck involved here and there, but ultimately, it's the hunger that drove them to do just as you said...get around the barriers.
