Pick a Type of Insight
Greatness chooses the harder road when faced with two options, because hard choices build an easy life while easy choices build a hard one, and the difficulty he takes on today becomes the strength higher levels will demand.
Greatness decides up front what he will give up to get what he wants, because everything worth having is paid for in comfort, time, or opportunities left behind, and naming the price early lets him pay it without flinching.
Greatness goes after the challenges most men avoid, because hard problems sharpen his thinking and build real capability, and the distance between him and everyone else grows fastest when he is doing what they refuse to do.
Greatness finds a way to make progress in any situation instead of waiting for perfect conditions, because small wins compound even in bad circumstances, and the man who keeps moving passes the one waiting for good ones.
