Becoming An Outlier: Steps To Success

By Evan Sanders


It took me a while to realize just how important it is to focus on quality over quantity.

Perhaps it's the society we live in where typically more is better and getting free things is an enticing offer. It's easy to get wrapped up in going for the cheapest thing on the table because it's sometimes the most accessible thing to grab onto. Thing is, this does not challenge you. This does not help you grow.

I am a firm believer that there are some things in our lives that will be forever out of our reach until we start changing fundamental pieces of ourselves. When we bring the best out in ourselves, we open up new avenues and opportunities to be explored. But this only happens when we challenge ourselves to be something that we've never been before.

Most people become disappointed with their lives because at some point they saw another way of living and never really gave themselves the opportunities to live in that type of world.

You have to be willing to make the sacrifices necessary today in order to see a better tomorrow.

You have to be willing to keep yourself accountable, honest, and act with integrity at all times.

Above all, you must be willing to continuously raise the bar for yourself in order to become something great. Good is never good enough. Excellence is the goal.

It's amazing the disconnect that happens when people search for happiness. What's interesting however, is that when you don't seek it...it actually comes to you. I did not search for happiness at all. However, I did not partake in the standard "just be satisfied" rubbish either. What I did was work on improving upon myself, doing the things which I knew would make me a more fulfilled person, and when it was right, I let happiness find me.

There is so much material out there about being happy, but one thing that is for sure is when you start "trying" to be happy it will always elude you.

Decide that you are going to be something and go be it. Learn every single day. Be a good man or woman. Respect yourself to give yourself the best chance at living you can. This is your day and your world. You just have to go out there and take it.

Sacrifices will be the foundation your new life is built upon.

Make something of yourself today.
