Being relentless is your only choice for Everest In Edmonton.
Being relentless means challenging more of yourself than anyone else could ever demand of you, knowing that every time you stop, you can still do more. You must do more.
Sometimes achieving your goals feels like an uphill battle that never ends. But when you see even the smallest results, that tells you you’re on the right track.
Why is it that so many things we start never amount to anything? It’s because we don’t pursue them relentlessly.
It’s also about facing the obstacles that inevitably get in the way. When you go after goals that will change your life or change the world, it’s not easy.
Confidence is your greatest asset.
You’ve heard it before: Climbing Mount Everest is far more mental than physical. Of course, you have to be in excellent condition but a person’s ability to climb Mount Everest—or do anything hard—is more a reflection of their level of confidence than their actual physical ability.
Your confidence determines:
- The size of challenges/goals you undertake
- How likely you will achieve those goals
- How well you bounce back from failures
If you’re not confident, you will never put yourself out there in the first place. When you’re confident, you don’t care how many times you fail, you’re going to succeed. And it doesn’t matter how stacked the odds seem against you.
Don’t be afraid of the consequences of failure.
Most people stay close to the ground, where it’s safe. If they fall, it won’t hurt that bad. But when you choose to fly high, the fall may kill you. And you’re OK with that. To you, there is no ceiling and there is no floor. It’s all in your head. If something goes wrong—if you “fail”—you adjust and keep going.
Surround yourself with people who remind you of the future, not the past.
When you surround yourself with people who remind you of your past, you’ll have a hard time progressing. This is why we get stuck in certain roles, which we can’t break free from (e.g., the fat kid or shy guy).
Surrounding yourself with people who you want to be like allows you a fresh slate. You’re no longer defined by your past, only the future you are creating.
“Be obsessively relentless in the pursuit of those goals, especially in the face of complications along the way, make no excuses and place no blame nobody.”
