I think a lot of success can be chiseled down to focusing on one thing for a very long time (5-10 years)

It’s hard to know what that thing is - and even harder to find the motivation to keep doing it for that long.

Respect to anyone who has found their thing and in the trenches doing it everyday.

I was just listening to a podcast about "grit." Persistently pursuing the same goal over a long period requires both perseverance and passion. Find that one thing, stay present, and absolutely commit to long-term persistence.
