Do you want to make it big?
If the answer is yes, what’s stopping you?
There are millions of ‘how to’ videos to help you learn new skills and tons of productivity apps to inculcate good habits and help you track your progress.
Then why is it not happening?
Because there’s one thing which is missing- in the popular discourse on success and in your life, And that one thing is Intent.
Not convinced?
Look around and ask yourself- in your last few interactions, how many of your friends told you that they are aspiring for a Big Hairy Audacious Goal- like becoming the next CEO or building a billion dollar enterprise, let alone working towards it?
Hardly any?
Maybe 1-2?
And what did the rest say? “Bas bhai, chal raha hai.”
And that “chal raha hai” or lack of intent is precisely the first blocker in their path to success, if not the only one.
Where there is no thought, there is no action.
The pursuit of Mastery starts with Intent, not with skill.
And most people don’t have it- difficult to admit but true.
Now before you say “It’s their choice”, “Life is lived in small moments, not in chasing titles” and so on, I would say, “I agree.” What I disagree with is not having that strong intent and attributing everything to the external circumstances.
