  Five Minute Friday, Episode 480. You are the one. If you're still looking for that one person to change your life, then take a look in the mirror. Have you ever found yourself wishing that someone would just offer you the perfect opportunity, or amount of money, or job, and then everything would be great? Wouldn't it be nice if someone just handed you all these things? Then life would be so easy and painless, and that's the way life should be, right? We should just all have everything we want handed to us whenever we want. Well, guess what? That's not how life works. And there's a reason for that. If we don't experience the adversity, and challenges, and pain, and disappointment of struggle,

  then we don't grow as human beings. The most successful people in the world weren't handed success. They learned skills, they developed talent, they created value, they increased their mind's capacity, and experienced failure after failure. In fact, the only way to succeed is through the journey of a million failures. Think about it. From the moment you were born, you must go through challenges and pain to learn and grow in order to succeed and get to the next level. You must fail to get better. You must try in order to triumph. But this failure is simply feedback to teach you what you need to learn to master something new in order to grow.

  And that growth is moving you forward, one more step at a time on the path to making your dreams come true. But your dreams will never happen without millions of failures of all types and sizes on a consistent basis. That growth is what creates value. Value for yourself and value for the world. It's what creates perspective, and wisdom, and gratitude, and grace. You are the only person who can give yourself the perfect opportunity you want, the money you want, the job you want, the body you want, the relationship you want, the life you want. But you must be willing to go through all the lessons along the way to make it happen. It's never going to fall in your lap without consistent growth.

  And if it does fall in your lap, then trust me, you better surround yourself with people to support you, or you'll lose it quickly and be back to square one. This is your life. Get clear on your dreams. Do the work every single day. Build yourself into that force of unlimited value for the world. Develop the skills. Face your fears and then master them. Own your insecurities. Be confident in your abilities. You have all the wisdom and intuition you need to start your journey and make it happen. Trust the process of your life because you are the one.
