If that is the limit of my potential , when I give 100 % FOR MYSELF
Then I am satisfied , I don't need to compare myself to someone else
and I think that we should consider that when talking about Potential , Genius , and
another one reaches his goals fater
It's OK ! If i start something now , and someone else learns faster then me ,
or progresses faster than me
I have different problems in my life and a different consistency
It is OK ! I have to make sure that I move forward in my own rhythm
and shouldn't doubt myself just because someone else is a little faster !
Yeah... many people ask me that and I often ask myself the same thing ,
I try to do so many things , I do sports , movie-directing , acting , music ,
how can you get it all done and be equally successful in all those fields
you have to choose one thing , many people tell me you can't be successful
you can't dance on two weddings at the same time , you can't do this you can't do that and I think OK ,
on the one hand it is true you have to decide what you want to do and push one thing at a time
but I also think that it is possible to master the different fields at once
it is possible ,.. because one day has 24 hours and that is really a lot of time
I used to do many things for a long time that didn't bring me anything
I always had the feeling that i would miss out on something , that i had to be here and there ,
looking back i see that i didn't miss out on anything , besides an opportunity to do something out of my life
and other people got ahead of me ( zack ) only because I was somewhere having fun
you have to take the time , you have to tell yourself OK , I will lock myself up for the next 3-4 month
maybe i won't have much contact with my friends maybe i will have to sacrifice a few things
and some people tell me : " but then you are not really living "
because you are only oriented towards your goals and money and success
and you will loose your heart and your connection to your friends ect
It is not really like that , because it ain't a permanent state
maybe I will have to sacrifice on everything else for the next 3 to 4 month and follow my goal
but then , when i reached it , then i can celebrate ! it will give me a REASON to celebrate
I don't go celebrate or party only because it is Friday or Saturday and everyone else is celebrating
and that justifies a to reason party
but i see no reason to party before i achieved something ,
and when i do reach my goal and it is a Tuesday afternoon and everyone else is at work , THEN i will celebrate !
because it is at my rhythm
I don't think that it is too hard for a human being because
athletes that train for Olympia are also in a boot-camp for 5-6 month without their families or friends
but they are preparing to achieve something big , maybe to get a gold medal or break a record that will last forever
and that is something Big , they go to the edge of their potential
many people tell me , they don't want to sacrifice
you scarify either way
I mean , to me the question i not if i want to scarify or not but "what do i want to scarify ?"
because on the one hand you have success , you have what you can reach when you give 100%
and you can only get it when you put in the extra time and the extra effort
when everyone else leaves work , you stay 2-3 hours longer
when everyone else says today is Sunday i want to chill , you go out and do your thing !
on the other hand you have life quality , fun , joy , party , go drink something , ect that also belongs to life don't get me wrong
but you scarify the one or the other
and I will not scarify my success under any circumstances
because when i am successful i can really party and really chill and have real life quality
