At the core of all human behavior, the good feelings we all want are more or less the same. Therefore what we get out of life is not determined by the good feelings we desire but by what bad feelings were willing to sustain. Nothing good in life comes easy, -The good things in life we accomplish are defined by where we enjoy the suffering, where we enjoy the struggle. People want an amazing physique. But you dont end up with one unless you legitimately love the pain and physical stress that comes with living inside a gym for hour upon hour, unless you love calculating and calibrating the food you eat, planning your life out in tiny plate-sized portions. People want to start their own business or become financially independent. But you dont end up a successful entrepreneur unless you find a way to love the risk, the uncertainty, the repeated failures, and working insane hours on something you have no idea whether it will be successful or not. Some people are wired for that sort of pain, and those are the ones who succeed. What determines your success is What pain do you want to sustain?- Mark Manson
