First is to have an open mind, second is to constantly ask yourself: what is it that I am not seeing?
Most minds are locked and unresponsive, it’s a waste of time trying to motivate or inspire such minds; that’s why many people are not growing.
All your problems are within, if you are a champion within, you will steamroll any external distraction; but when you are failure within, nothing meaningful happens externally.
Open your mind, and you will see the world around you differently.
