My top advice for those who want to accomplish great things in Life

[The Caretaker]

Cute statement for a Stoic YouTube short, but nothing more. I greatly empathize with this feeling (especially the pain one), but find it counterproductive and coming from a place of lack. It's no different than using anger as a source of motivation.

I would rather look for strategic discomfort. Something that is a little bit outside your usual frame, something that is aligned with your purpose and you emotionally know that you need to do, but avoid. 

Maybe this is what you meant to begin with, but I still would try to be careful not to romanticize "the path of pain" (from what I've noticed, Leo is quite guilty of that recently as well).

There is no way around suffering, only through it by acceptance. What constitutes as acceptance changes with how we view reality, with how we view life.

Don’t get hung up on the argument of what is acceptance, only that it must be met in a way that you understand.

Commit to working 12-16 hour days. Work meaning direct action-attention on your mission.

Have no expectations - only a mission.

We are those who play with fire. Foolish and hopeful to tame it.
We are those who plunge into icy unknowns. Vulnerable to the burn and cold.
We know ourselves as fools. And yet foolish we go.

I would also add, to really do the work of self healing in a lot of depth, so you dont end up taking on a project to compensate for something else. In other words having real clarity.
