As we were asked not to go to work today, I decided to take a long walk. So it was either work or walk.
While walking, I found myself deep in thought, reflecting on my journey toward joy and greatness. I started thinking about what it would really take to get there. And then, something hit me (Smart).
If I truly want to reach that level, I need to go deeper, I need to reach my DEPTH and pay my debt
But then, what does this DEPTH mean to me? I realized that it’s more than just a word that stands for Discomfort, Efforts, Pain, Tenacity, and Hope.
And it suddenly made perfect sense, if I want to achieve my dreams, I need to be willing to dive into these depths. It’s in this depth that I will find the strength to reach the next level.
And then I thought about debt. Not the kind that weighs me down financially, but the debt I owe to greatness. The price I must pay if I want to reach my full potential.
Just like we pay off a loan over time, we have to make consistent payments toward greatness through our beliefs, actions, sacrifices, and persistence.
I believe you want to kow what each part of my DEPTH journey means, and the debts I owe to reach greatness:
Discomfort is the first installment I owe on my path to greatness. Staying comfortable won’t get me far. True progress begins when I am willing to step out of my comfort zone, even when it feels uncomfortable and uncertain. It’s in that discomfort that new opportunities and breakthroughs often hide.
Effort is the daily payment I make toward my dreams. Consistent effort is what bridges the gap between where I am now and where I want to be. It’s the daily grind, the small actions that build up to big results. You can’t skip this payment if you want to see real growth.
Pain is like interest on the debt. It’s the setbacks, the rejections, the failures that come with aiming higher. But instead of avoiding pain, I need to embrace it. Every time I endure pain, I am paying a bit more toward the life I want. Pain is a sign that I am moving forward, not backward.
Tenacity is the commitment to keep paying the debt, even when it gets tough. It’s the determination to push through when it would be easier to give up. It’s the promise I make to myself to never stop showing up, no matter how long it takes to reach my goals.
Hope is like the faith that the debt will be worth it in the end. It’s the belief that there is something greater on the other side of all this effort and struggle. It’s knowing that no matter how hard it gets, there is a reward waiting for me. Hope is what keeps me going when the payments feel heavy.
I have encouraged myself to stop avoiding discomfort and start seeking out those challenges that stretch me. I need to put in more effort than ever before, knowing that every bit of sweat is an investment in my future.
I must accept that pain is part of the process, and I have to hold on to tenacity, refusing to let go of my goals, no matter how tough things get. And through it all, I must carry hope like a torch, lighting my way forward.
My bro, greatness is expensive, but the rewards far outweigh the cost. It’s not about paying in money but about paying in Discomfort, Efforts, Belief, and Tenacity. And every time you push yourself a little harder, you are making a payment toward a brighter future.
I am the Billionaire Mechanic. I am a Choosen and I am choosing to dig deep, to embrace my DEPTH and pay my debt to greatness.
