I thought this article was rather inspiring and definitely part of the Fastlane mindset:
http://www.theuncommonlife.com/blog/why-most-people-dont-succeed/
The end stood out to me the most:
Blinded by outcome, we are quick to overlook the root causes of such outcomes. It’s often the immeasurable factors that fuel the behavior required to produce the measurable results. An absence of satisfaction and passion begets results only in the interim. If success is a combination of process, experience, and outcome then sustenance is imperative. But caught up in the modern allure of immediate, quantifiable results, we burn out frequently, quit regularly, and rarely experience notable success.
Long-distance goals cannot be achieved without maintenance (ask any marathon runner). Daily disciplines enable long-term performance and uncommon results. In fact, the very nature of the word “maintenance†embodies a consistent commitment to the long-term… otherwise each action is merely anomalous – and like I’ve always said, the only difference between “luck†and “skill is consistency.
