  Podcasthero.com. Welcome to the Daily Quote, the
• 0:06
  podcast designed to kick start your day in a positive way.
• 0:11
  I'm your host, Hannah McGivern, and this episode is brought to
• 0:13
  you by the Great News Podcast because good news should be
• 0:18
  heard. Today's quote comes from Brian
• 0:22
  Tracy, one of the world's leading speakers and authors on
• 0:25
  success and personal development, who has spoken to
• 0:28
  over 5 million people across 70 countries and written more than
• 0:34
  80 books. He once said your true success
• 0:39
  in life begins only when you make the commitment to become
• 0:43
  excellent at what you do. Notice the words Tracy chose
• 0:50
  true success. He's drawing a very deliberate
• 0:53
  line between two kinds of success.
• 0:56
  There's the surface kind, the title, the salary, the
• 1:00
  appearance of having made it. A lot of people achieve that.
• 1:04
  They show up, they do enough, and from the outside it can look
• 1:08
  like success. But Tracy is pointing at
• 1:10
  something deeper, the kind of success that actually satisfies,
• 1:16
  the kind that holds up when you're honest with yourself at
• 1:19
  the end of the day. And his argument is that kind of
• 1:22
  success, true success, has a specific starting point.
• 1:29
  Not talent, not opportunity, and not luck a commitment.
• 1:35
  Tracy's quote reminds us that simply going through the motions
• 1:38
  or settling for mediocrity will not lead to the fulfillment or
• 1:42
  achievement we desire. It requires dedication to
• 1:46
  constantly improve and strive for excellence in everything we
• 1:51
  do. That word commitment is doing
• 1:55
  all the heavy lifting here, because commitment means you've
• 1:59
  made a decision in advance. Before the hard days, before the
• 2:04
  setbacks, before the moments when good enough is tempting,
• 2:09
  You've already decided Excellent is the standard.
• 2:14
  Tracy himself believes there's no real limit to how much better
• 2:17
  a person who truly commits to getting better can get.
• 2:22
  The ceiling isn't fixed, but you have to commit to finding out
• 2:26
  where that is. So here's the question in the
• 2:30
  area that matters most to you right now.
• 2:34
  Are you committed to excellence, or are you settling for enough?
• 2:39
  Because enough will not get you there.
• 2:41
  But excellent, truly committing to it is where your real success
• 2:47
  begins, not when circumstances improve, and not when you feel
• 2:52
  ready right now with that decision.
• 2:56
  Make the commitment and watch what happens.
