Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1862DM There's a fly dying on a windowsill. It's throwing every last bit of energy at a pane of glass it will never break through. The door is open 10 feet away. Price Pritchett built a whole philosophy around that image. He calls it selective persistence. The problem isn't your effort. It's your direction. And most people never stop long enough to find out which one is failing them. A goal that scares you is actually the tool. When there's no way your current approach gets you there, you're forced to innovate. Comfortable goals just buy you more of the same. He also names what stops people cold: we weigh the losses heavier than the potential gains. We catastrophize, we stall, we quit romancing the dream. His answer? Play the hand you've got. Even bad cards win when you play them right.

  • Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

  • Here's a story from your book that I love that I'm gonna read.

  • It's a true story.

  • It says I'm sitting in a quiet room at the Microsoft Inn,

  • a peaceful little place hidden back among the pine trees about an hour out of Toronto.

  • It's just past noon, late July, and I'm listening to a desperate sound,

  • to the desperate sounds of a life or death struggle going on a few feet away.

  • There's a small fly burning out the last of its short life's energies

  • in a futile attempt to fly through the glass of the window pane.

  • The winding wings tell the poignant story of the fly's strategy.
