No one cares until you win, so win

#6 persist, persevere until you do somethin'

Have you ever felt invisible despite your burning ambition and hard work? Your determination screams out loud, but no one seems to take note. Let's be real and face it.

No one cares about how beautiful your vision board is. No one cares about the nice quotes in your notebook. No one cares about your journal or your elaborate notion workspace plans. No one cares about your story until you pull something extraordinary. Everybody is fighting their own life battles to notice what is happening in your life.

We all love grass-to-grace stories, tales of individuals rising from nothing, defying the odds, and overcoming setbacks to achieve something remarkable despite their backgrounds. But no one cares about these stories until you win.

Let's take an example of a marathon. Many athletes are on the track racing to win. At the beginning, we are not focused on anyone in particular, but as it progresses, we focus on the person who is in the front. And at the finish line, everyone is talking about the winner. We go to the extent of digging into their story, their training schedule, the challenges they've faced, and everything about their life, including nothing. We don't care about the person who finished 10th; no one cares about their hard work.

That happens everywhere. Most success stories you know are about some man or woman who did something incredible—in other words, someone who won. Until you’ve achieved something worthwhile, people don’t want to hear about all the struggles or setbacks you’re facing. No one will care about your efforts until you win. So win

.

Don't think that you're being misunderstood. Continue pushing, persevere, consistently show up, take small steps, and celebrate small wins until the wins compound into something spectacular for everyone to talk about. Then the world will call it an overnight success, but you know how long it has taken you to build the legacy.

You can spend years working on something, and if it never sees the light of day, people will forget it ever existed. It’s not because they’re cruel. It’s because the world rewards execution, not intention. Effort doesn’t matter without results.

So, persist in what you are doing. Continue making strides. Keep showing up. We make a few changes, but the results never seem to come quickly, and so we slide back. Two days in the gym, yet you are not in shape; four YouTube videos won't make you a YouTuber; three talks won't make you a seasoned public speaker, and saving a little now won't make you a millionaire. You have to keep casting votes for your story to be known.

Success is a product of daily action, not a once-in-a-lifetime transformation.

Every time you show up, you cast votes and reinforce the persona you want to embody; keep the reps in. And in showing up, show up when you're most ambitious, when you're at your baseline energy, and when you are at your lowest. Every day and everything matter.

You don't get to choose when to show up because the world will ignore your best and judge you for your worst. If you want to win, your responsibility is to show up with energy and enthusiasm for the little things just as much as you do for the big things.
