If I have one tip for a successful life, it’s this: Don’t let the monsters run the show. You don’t have to defeat them every day. You just have to keep showing up. Keep choosing yourself. Keep trying. Keep building that foundation, like Mr. Thoreau suggested … because without it, you’ll never build your castle in the sky.
Success isn’t about never falling — it’s about refusing to let the “monsters” decide who you are. Every time you fight back, even a little, you get stronger.
