Recently, I came across a powerful mindset to calm the restless minds of young, aspiring men.

The idea is to think of success, or the thing that you're ultimately after, as being just around the corner.

You can absolutely get there, you just have to take one step at a time.

During the process, celebrate every win that takes you closer to the goal. During the journey, just keep that ultimate success in mind, but focus on celebrating and getting excited about your concrete progress.

Think of it like achieving your fitness goals. If your dream physique is a 10, and you're currently at a 4. Then just think that you will absolutely, 100%, reach a 10. You just have to level up 6 levels to reach a 10. So when you start working out and reach a 5, celebrate it! Fixate on beating each level ahead of you and celebrate when you break through. All throughout, keep in mind that the 10 is just right there, and you will without a doubt achieve it.

No more "what if I don't succeed", ever.
