In a Netflix documentary about his life, Arnold Schwarzenegger is asked about the secret to his astonishing success as a bodybuilder, actor, and politician. Schwarzenegger responds with one word that he repeats throughout the series.
Vision.
"For my whole life, I had an unusual talent to see things very clearly in front of me," Schwarzenegger explains. "If I could see it in my mind, I thought it must be achievable. There is no doubt that you can make your vision a reality."
He had a dream, and he went after it. He came from a small town, poor where no one knew him. They said he couldn't make it in bodybuilding, but he went on to be the world's most famous bodybuilder (He won the Mr. Universe title aged 20, and subsequently the Mr. Olympia title seven times.) They said he would never be an actor because of his accent, but despite that, he became box office gold. They said he had no potential for becoming a governor, but he showed them, winning not one but two terms in office.
He didn't let anything or anyone stop him from what he wanted. No matter how many disappointments, how many failures, or how many people told him he couldn't do it, it just made him more determined.
Arnold Schwarzenegger's story leaves us with several valuable lessons. His unwavering dedication, self-belief, and willingness to take risks have been the driving forces behind his achievements. He has shown that with relentless determination and a clear vision, anyone can overcome adversity and achieve greatness.
