About This Quote

When I was younger I admired people who were successful. Not because I wanted to copy them, but because it seemed so easy for them. My life was a mess, and it had been that way for a long time. Why couldn’t I be more like these successful people? Maybe if I did this or that different, my life would get better. Then something happened.

The more I did what successful people did, the more I felt disappointed. Why was it so hard to be like them? If they could do it, why couldn’t I? This is when I discovered the power of fear. The secret of success is not doing what others do, but rather the opposite.

The secret of success is doing the exact opposite of what others are doing. When we step into their shoes and try to walk in their footsteps, we often feel lost and confused. The only way to succeed is to step out of your own footprints and walk in someone else’s shoes. If you want to be successful, you have to be willing to do the opposite of what everyone else is doing and be willing to fail.
