COT:
Every accomplishment is based on action, not on thought… yet the thought is always father to the deed. Achievement starts with an idea, a perspective, a point of view, and an attitude: the attitude that no matter what, you will do what it takes to reach your goals — and live the life you want to live.

To do that, there is a daily affirmation that is recommended to repeat to yourself, out loud. It is referred to as the Man in the Arena from a speech given in 1910 by Theodore Roosevelt.

Stand tall. Stand proudly. Don’t just say the words — feel the words:

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." (end of quote)

And so: the best way to be different is to do the things other people refuse to do.

The best way to live the life you want to live is to stop worrying about what other people think.

The best way to succeed is to out-think, out hustle, and outwork everyone else.

You may not be as experienced, as well funded, as well connected, or as talented… but you can always do more than other people are willing to do. Even when everything else seems stacked against you, effort and persistence can still be your competitive advantages — and they may be the only advantages you truly need.

Dare greatly. Know victory. Know defeat.
And every day, commit to living the life you want to live.
