Rise Above the Force of Average: Embracing Your Path to Greatness

Most people never get started chasing greatness, out of fear that agents of average will judge them.

Imagine not becoming who God created you to become, because some people who gave up on their own excellence, a long time ago, might think you believe you are better than them.

If you're like me, and you made a lot of mistakes when you were young, you can expect people to talk shit about you when you start to get it together.

Had I let those agents of average (AOAs) effect me, I wouldn't be here today.

Damn near everyone who I grew up with and came up in life with, judged me and talked mad shit as soon as I started leveling up in life.

I didn't do anything wrong. I was actually doing a lot of things right, and the AOAs in my life talked shit and made me feel bad for wanting to be a better, richer, happier, person than I was.

2005 was my first year of making real money. I made almost $800k net that year and my "friends" sure had a lot to say about it.

They knew me from my drug dealing days and just assumed I was dealing drugs again. They all talked behind my back etc.

I didn't let their opinions or lies stop me from being the Ryan I was created to be.

They talked shit, I talked on sales calls.

They hated on me, I hated my old life.

They wanted me to fail, I wanted to win.

Most people never get going on the right path in life because they are afraid to fail in front of the people who they say support them, but deep down they know they want them to fail.

Misery loves company, and others that failed love having someone around to share their stories of failure with. It's not their fault, they just don't know better.

They aren't really hating on me or you, they are hating themselves for not following through on their dreams and us following up on ours points out their own personal failure.

It's never about me or you, it's always about them.

Don't let fear of failure in someone else's eyes keep you from living your own dream life right in front of your own eyes.
