PURSUE CREATIVE FULFILLMENT.
You might think that successful people have magic powers.
A unique formula to be rich and famous.
A formula you didn’t receive, and that’s what’s holding you back.
But, is that the reality?
Once you realize the unique formula is hard work, dedication and perseverance you realize that you’ve had the recipe all along.
Stop waiting for someone or something to bring you happiness in life. Instead, focus on the daily process that will turn your dreams into a reality.
On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk about taking the long road and dedicating yourself to a dream with comedian and actor: Jim Gaffigan.
