Viewed that way, there is not a lot of time. Yet most people spend it waiting for someone to save them, making excuses, and dreaming within the limits of their bank account. This episode of Absolute Motivation is a single sustained argument: the only person coming to save you is you, and the only way to avoid a life of regret is to stop quitting when things get hard, take full responsibility, and pursue your potential with relentless consistency.
