Do you agree with Barbara C of Shark Tank on this?

She says the biggest standard that leads to success is when you have no other option but to succeed.

I got straight A’s cause my identity was that I was someone who got straight A’s and I could not accept an A-.

I became religious because my identity was that I was somebody God loved and no other option was accessible for me.

I recovered from health issues because I refused to accept my health issues.

Barbara says, if you want to achieve your goal, you have to eliminate the safety net that gives you the option of failure or of inferior effort by low quality work.

I agree that when you have no safety to fall back to, it will push you to try to succeed, no matter what. However, one can't be bias believing that just cause you do that it will become successful and if you fail, you can still continue. You gave the example of saying that you refused to accept your health issues, and hence recovered from it. Whilst the motivation is great and most people should follow, one should also understand the challenges ahead, be aware of what possible setbacks there are so that one can eventually accept its faith if it doesn't work out. One needs to understand themselves, know their capability and have a general realistic view of what can be achieved.
