“ 80% of success is just showing up” - Woody Allen Woody Allen CAT believes the key indicator of SUCCESS is: PERSITENCE in deliberate practice, fueled by passion, in pursuit of SMART goals “… many people get depressed when they lose focus or motivation … they think [others don’t] … [but] really successful people feel the same boredom and lack of motivation … [no] magic pill that makes them feel ready and inspired every day. But the difference is that the people who stick with their goals don’t let their emotions determine their actions. Top performers still find a way to show up, to work through the boredom, and to embrace the daily practice that is required to achieve their goals.” - James Clearpeople who stick with their goals don’t let their emotions determine their actions
