Know why Andy Dufresne was successful?
1) He had a plan.
2) He implemented his plan consistently.
He literally chipped away at a wall, day after day. . .for NEARLY SEVENTEEN YEARS before he achieved his desired result.
Did he quit because of all the days he was unsuccessful? Nope. He persistently rinsed and repeated his process until he was able to break through that wall.
Did he whine and complain that his tools were not fancy enough? Nope. He used the same 6 inch rock-hammer until he wore it down to the nub.
Did he seek the approval of his fellow inmates? Nope. He kept his head down and his mouth shut.
And if that wasn’t enough, after 6,000+ days of hammering, he still had the guts and the nuts to be face down in a sewer pipe to crawl “to freedom through 500 yards of sh!t smelling foulness.”
Most of you lack the intestinal fortitude to chase your goals like Andy because you’re shackled in your own prisons of cost, convenience, and colleagues.
It’s time to Shawshank your life and career.(This is the part where you are so blown away at the metaphor above that you contact me. I will help you with your plan. And I own an array of rock hammers.)
