madness

“It takes a certain kind of madness to go all in.

Not talent.

Not luck.

Madness.

Because most people need a safety net. A backup plan. A way out. But the ones who actually make something of themselves?

They burn the boats.

Not because it’s smart, but because they see what they’re capable of.

Going all in doesn’t make sense.

It’s not logical.

It’s not safe.

It’s a full-body yes in a world that worships hesitation.

But 80% in only gets you 20% back, whilst 100% in gets you 1000% back.

Because when you commit like that–when you bet on yourself with no exit strategy–you’ve no choice but to start playing a different game.

You think clearer.

You move faster.

You become the person who figures it out.

So if you’re one of the few who are mad enough, go all in.

Because the cost of not doing it is living with the question, “What if I had?” And that question? It will haunt you far more than failure ever could.”

-Ross Harkness

Sometimes, you’ve got to go all-in and embrace the madness Harkness is referring to.

Make the first time a commitment to discovering and becoming your authentic Self; going all-in once you know without a doubt what that “thing” is becomes easier, but you cannot know what it is without first knowing your Self.

See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,
