Are you a Donkey, a Workhorse or a Unicorn?
See the donkeys are the worker bees. These people have no idea what they are working on or what they want to get in life. These are the 95% of all people. They are mediocre and doesn’t do shit to better themselves.
And there are workhorses. These people are fired up for something and they do the work to achieve it. These are 4% of all population. These guys are above average and they do live above average lifestyle. They are the ones who become famous among masses (aka donkeys). The great athletes, the popular artists are all in these categories.
Now there are Unicorns. These are the guys who own the workhorses and the donkeys. And they get rich by employing them. These are the people who own the club in which your favorite athlete is playing or they are the ones who give the cheques to popular artists.
See, this is the mindset I want:
“I want to sign the front of the cheque and not the back of it.”
“I want to sign the front of the cheque and not the back of it.”
“I want to sign the front of the cheque and not the back of it.”
These are the 1%tile guys! They ca get in restaurant with family not giving a f about anyone asking their autographs or about the tensions of their businesses. Why?
Because they have grown bigger than their problems. See, success by definition is change. You cannot become successful and live in the same apartment, and have same friends and eat the same foods! That is just not possible!
Maybe you are a donkey right now or a workhorse! So, when you work on yourself and become a Unicorn, you won’t be the same person.
It’s not the external factors that change, it is You! You grow, your mindset grows, your skills grow! And in order to achieve success you must change, you must grow!
So, when you realize that you are a Unicorn now and you look back to the times when you were a donkey, you’ll be glad that you did change!
And how do you do it? By two things. First eliminating crabs from your life and living with that higher nobler grander purpose of yours!
The second part there is easy. Everybody knows what they want to do, everyone has that gut feeling. But what makes them not following that purpose is the first part, the crabs in their life!
Who are the crabs? The nay sayers, the doubters, the mediocres! They tell you to not do anything crazy, to remain calm, to abide by the rules of society! They not only doubt you; they make you doubt yourself!
So you have to cut them, eliminate them from your life! Even if they are a family! If you cannot completely cut them, start having edited relationship with them. Meaning decrease the time you spend with them or decrease the depth of relationship you have with them! Do whatever you feel right. But if you wanna grow to the 1%tile, to become a Unicorn, you owe it to yourself!
And after that comes the vision, your purpose! We are like German Shepherd dog. When you go buy a german Shepherd, they will tell you to keep him occupied. To keep giving him purpose. When the German Shepherds don’t have purpose, they fall into depression and eventually die!
See, humans have lot in common with German Shepherds. If we don’t have purpose, we start to to fall in depression and start living meaningless life! Following the society. We just don’t die that early, but we decay mentally and emotionally. We lose our strength and the power of our mind as a human being.
So, for that not to happen, we have to continue living with that purpose, we have to continue to keep burning it or keep giving it the fuel it needs!
You have to take one step a day towards your vision. Not a monumental leap, just to step! And by taking that step, you change yourself, you start growing into a Unicorn!
