Joel Brown simplifies the formula for achieving dreams by focusing on two internal gatekeepers. Often, we blame external circumstances for holding us back, but this quote asserts that the real barriers are internal.

The first is "the will to try." This is the courage to take the first step, to risk failure, and to put in the work. The second is "the belief that it is actually possible." Without this core belief, the will to try evaporates. Your mind must be convinced of the possibility before your body will put in the effort.

This quote is incredibly empowering. It tells you that your dream is accessible, and the keys are already in your possession: the decision to take action and the foundational belief that you can succeed.
