Struggles and obstacles are a normal part of high achievement. Inertia, laziness, and complacency must be violently beat back with the blunt sword of determination. Excellence only comes with a price, and sometimes paying that price will almost bring us to our knees. This kind of talk is nothing new to high-achievers. They know the…

I've studied for years the many people who have achieved tremendous things in life, and one thing I find common to them all is the audacity to follow their own inner voice.
