By any estimation, very few human beings on this planet have achieved the level of success that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has across wildly different careers - from wrestling superstardom to becoming one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood.
And yet, even after reaching those dizzying heights at age 51, The Rock wants more. Much more.
When asked why he’s wrestling in the WWE at 51 he said felt like he reached a "mountaintop" careerwise and rather than satisfaction, The Rock had a very different response:
"I want to go make new mountain...and more mountain."
It's that insatiable ambition to literally never stop ascending that separates the all-time greats from the rest. The grit to manufacturing fulfilling new challenges when others would understandably relish their victories.
This mindset came through again after his first wrestling match in nearly a decade at WrestleMania 39. The grueling physical toll at 51 years old begged the question of why even lace up his boots again?
The Rock's answer was clear: "There's more mountain to build."
Whether its filming blockbusters or new business ventures - He says he needs to keep climbing higher and higher, no matter how lofty the summit.
Because as he put it: "I want to wake up and run towards it." To keep devouring ambition's next meal every single day, rather than feel getting up is forced or obligated.
