Determined to be a success

Habits are hard. Difficult to create and to get rid of. Unless you really care about them in which case you can somehow lose them in two days forever. What's happening there nobody knows, how come they know what's what and what'll hurt you the most? Such a travesty.

Learning to create and break habits is the greatest gift you can give to yourself. The sheer discipline to keep doing something over and over not because you want to but because you must for yourself as an investment for the long term may not automatically make you a well-adjusted successful person but it helps. It helps to be patient and keep the long-term prize in mind while you suffer in the short term. Not having those is not an absolute deadloss one can get somewhere on skill ability and practice but habits are what take a thousand hours of practice to ten thousand, fifty thousand and even more. The ten thousand hours of expertise is a lie we know that now, some can do it in five hundred and others may need three times as much. What is not a lie however is apples to apples or even multiple apples to an apple grit determination and the sheer audacity of hitting and fighting back and going on and on and on will give you significant advantage over competition. And that's not just because you'll have grown old doing the thing. Though of course that counts too.

Grit determination constant practice and a certain dare to fail, they can be worked on and used as cheat codes to a more successful life by us losers who are not blessed with great abilities and talents.
