You've heard the still, small voice in the back of your mind, right?
You know, the one that tells you to take shortcuts. To take the easy road. To avoid hardship. To stay clear of anything requiring discipline. To "give up."
But winners...
In life, everything will choose the path of least resistance. Doesn't matter if we're talking about water, electricity, or your brain.
