Step one - Grow up. Swallow your pride. Work really fucking hard.
Step two - Write a book that no one will ever read. Write in it every single day.
Step three - Take care of your physical and mental health ruthlessly. Kill anything and anyone that threatens it. Go to the fucking gym. But not to be ripped and pick up girls. To develop true self confidence and discipline. This is absolutely essential and you cannot conquer dreams without this.
Step four - Find peace with dying. Then let go of the wheel.
Step five - Spend as much time as you can by yourself. Learn to love who you are.
Step six - Fail mercilessly. Fail as often as you can. In that process, stop giving a fuck.
Step seven - Make rejection your truest and most sincere friend. Learn to love it’s honesty more than any person could ever give you.
