What we want and what we have are two different things.
What we have is the reality. What we want is in the alternate reality.
Most often than now, we tend to spend most of our times in this alternate reality. We want good life, good health and all other sorts of sweet things but don't want to pay the price.
Achieving great height of success isn't a walk in the park. If you think otherwise, then it's either you don’t understand the working processes or you have your sights set too low.
Reaching the top of any field is difficult, time-consuming, and often tedious.
The reason it isn’t crowded at the top is that most people would rather drop out from the race to the top of the pyramid than keep up when the going gets tough.
If you need inspiration to persevere, read the biographies of men and women who have achieved greatness in their lives. You will find that they prevailed because they refused to quit. They continued to toil alone long after the masses had given up and gone home.
Life is actually just like they posit in Matrix, inception et al. You die in the reality once you are dead in the alternate reality.
