i don’t aim to be in the top 1%, but rather the 2%.
let me explain:
only 2% of people take the stairs instead of the elevator.
only 2% of people read books instead of finding an ebook version of the same thing and listen to it passively on the subway.
only 2% of people take the risk create original art instead of copying whatever already works.
only 2% of people go to the gym consistently after the motivation disappears.
only 2% of people choose difficult conversations over avoidance.
only 2% of people build real skills instead of faking expertise online.
only 2% of people delay
gratification long enough to actually change their lives.
and i honestly think that 2% ends up living a more fulfilled, meaningful and free life than a lot of people chasing the illusion of being top 1%.
