Too many people somehow believe that the path to an extraordinary life must be full of suffering and make you unhappy until you achieve your desired goals.
This will only happen if you choose to compete with the whole world by following conventional rules and chasing well-trodden paths and others' approval.
In reality, the right direction in life allows you to feel at peace with who you are and to grow into who you want to be.
Every morning, you wake up with joy because you are walking your own unique path, doing things at your own pace.
You don't feel pressured to compete with others; you simply enjoy competing with who you could become, and you understand that you can achieve much more than you initially thought.
You work hard every day, but it feels right, not something forced or imposed.
As the years go by, you become healthier, wealthier, and smarter; and you naturally attract the best people and opportunities as you become a more worthy person.
This path is the goal we should all strive for.
Until one day, looking back, we realize that all the difficulties we had to overcome were actually necessary and led us to where we didn't even know we were meant to be.
