As soon as you are confronted with a new dilemma, there become many versions of you.
At the moment of divide between the present and the many futures, there are suddenly multiple copies of you – the one that gives up early. The one that runs screaming from the challenge. Ones that try and fail a thousand different ways.
And the one that succeeds.
You – the version of you reading this right now – can step into the shape of any one of them. You just have to outlast the others.
Success is just failure over time.
