We are not born limited. We are born with powers beyond
measure. We learn to become limited.
A famous philosopher said that the opposite of courage is
not cowardice but conformity. We conform to our envi-
ronment and learn to act as everyone else. And unfortu-
nately most people learn to act as the 90% who fail.
As children we have no notion of quitting. In fact, chil-
dren are born with two instinctive fears. Fear of falling
and fear of loud noise. All other fears are learned
responses. My 5-year-old nephew will go through walls
to get what he wants. He is fearless. Have you ever ob-
served a baby learning to walk? The baby will fall, but
will never stay down.
You become relentless when you understand the three
ingredients, the keys to success. Let’s learn about them
