The 95% Reality Check
One of the saddest things in life is to get to the end
and look back in regret, knowing that you could
have been, done, and had so much more.
—ROBIN SHARMA
The story of the human race is the story of men and
women selling themselves short.

E
very  day  you  and  I  wake  up,  we  face  the  same  universal
challenge: to overcome mediocrity and live to our full potential. It’s
the  greatest  challenge  in  human  history—to  rise  above  our  excuses,
do  what’s  right,  give  our  best  and  create  the Level  10  life  we  truly
want—the one with no limits, the one so few people ever get to live.
Most people never even come close. Approximately 95% of our
society  settles  for  far  less  than  they  want  in  life,  wishing  they  had
more,  living  with  regret  and  never  understanding  that  they  could  be,
do, and have all that they want.
According to the Social Security Administration, if you take any
100  people  at  the  start  of  their  working  careers  and  follow  them  for
the  next  40  years  until  they  reach  retirement  age,  here’s  what  you’ll
find:    only  1  will  be  wealthy;  4  will  be  financially  secure;  5  will
continue working, not because they want to but because they have to;
36  will  be  dead;  and  54  will  be  broke  and  dependent  on  friends,

family, relatives, and the government to take care of them.
Monetarily speaking, that’s only 5% of us who will be successful
in creating a life of freedom, and 95% who will continue to struggle
their entire lives.
So  the  crucial  question—the  one  that  we  must  explore  and  find
the  answer  to—is  this: what can we do now to ensure that we don’t
end up struggling, like the 95% majority will?
