I feel like the starting point of success is acceptance of reality.

In order to succeed in the world people do their utmost to appear successful.

Success come to those who become success conscious.

Either you deal with what is the reality, or you can be sure that the reality is going to deal with you.

The secret of success is sincerity. Once you can fake that you've got it made.

Reality is what you can get away with.

The secret of success is sincerity. Once you can fake that you’ve got it made.

Success comes to those who become success conscious.

"Selling yourself does not mean boasting about your accomplishments but rather demonstrating security in your goals and your lifestyle so your "customers" feel success and want to emulate it"

What became clear in Michigan was that Julian and Sissy have become the fully realized version of themselves through success. That's actually rare. I profile famous and successful athletes for a living and almost no one understands that success is merely a currency to spend on one big purchase. Do you use it to try to get more success? To maintain the attention and bright lights? Or do you buy a life with it? The kind of life most people really want. I wanted what they have, wanted to organize the next act of my life, the one that moved finally past my youthful dreams and the rage and ambition that come shaped and fueled by my most broken and insecure self.

I am giving you permission to succeed.

[Y]ou must have a clear picture in your mind of what success would look, sound, and feel like.

But if I ask you (or you ask anyone around you), what success looks like to you, either you wouldn’t have an answer or you will say ‘Well, I want to make a lot of money, live in a nice luxurious house, give my parents and loved ones a comfortable life, travel across the world and be happy.’ How funny and sad at the same time. If all of us are different then how can our dream life look exactly the same? Because we are clowns.

Now I know what success is: living your truth, sharing it.
