Great people have great outcomes, you just have to give them a long enough timescale. As it never happens on the timescale you want but it does happen.
If you apply specific knowledge with leverage, you will eventually, get what you deserve.
The challenge with being patient is everyone wants results immediately. Naval explains how the world is an efficent place; immediate doesn’t work. You have to put in the time. You do have to put in the hours, and so I think you have to put yourself in the position with the specific knowledge, with accountibility, with leverage, with the authentic skill set you have, to be the best in the world at what you do.
You have to enjoy it and keep doing it, and keep doing it. The most important thing is that you don’t keep track, and don’t keep count because if your counting, you’ll run out of patience before success actually arrives.
People are oddly consistent. Karma is just you, repeating your patterns, virtues, and flaws until you finally get what you deserve. Always pay it forward. And don’t keep count.
