If you are one of those rare and special 5 percenters who decides to ignore gravity and take to the sky- one of those rare birds, like Orville and Wilbur, who chooses to break free from the downward pull of life and rise to a higher quality of accomplishment and success, to be a pioneer and risk discomfort and ridicule for the sake of your dreams- well, I’ve got good news and bad news.

The good news is, you’re already exceptionally well oriented toward success. The bad news is, all those 95 percenters are going to be yanking on you, sitting on you, naysaying and doomsaying on you, and doing their level best to pull you back down.

Why? Because if you succeed, it reinforces the fact that they are not where they want to be. They know instinctively that there are two ways to make their building the highest structure in town: build an even bigger one, or tear down all the others.

Since the odds are against them building the big one, and since it takes just too darn long to start seeing any results, and since they are not all aware of the slight edge, they’re going to take the path of least resistance and go into the demolition business.
