The greatest prerequisite for building a great career and amassing great wealth is not intelligence or ability — it is raw vitality.
This is why people who succeed in getting wealthy almost universally share the same traits: a hearty appetite, strong desires, iron willpower, sharp intuition, and a body built to last.
Over the years, this is exactly why I have always encouraged my brothers and sisters: you must build solid habits around fitness and nutrition. Because once your body is healthy and strong, tremendous ambition and grand vision will grow from it naturally.
And from there, you can move mountains and command the seas.
On the other hand, if your physical condition is like a sick cat — limp and listless all day, barely able to summon any energy — you can hardly take care of yourself. How could you possibly have anything left over to accomplish something great?
Remember this well: a civilized mind and a powerful body cannot replace each other. You cannot do without either one.
