Take-Off Power:

Firm Faith 

Everything in life is susceptible to the negative pull of gravitation, not only physically, but metaphysically, as well. Success, therefore, requires “take-off power” to break pass this pull, keep and stay in flight mode. No one is going to succeed by accident. What, seemingly, happens by accident is a failure. That is the direction of gravitational pull. That is the default of life.

To succeed something more is required. Like Naval Ravikant notes, "the people who succeed are irrationally passionate about something." Their irrational passion, like aerodynamics, works in consonance with gravity to give us flight, success. Their "fully sold out" status is their cause that produces the effect of their success.

That is what an activated human spirit brings to the game of life. As Steve Forbes so rightly adds, “The real source of wealth and capital in this new era is not material things. It is the human mind, the human spirit, the human imagination, and our faith in the future.”
