Dreams are free. Hustle however, is sold separately. Boy is it pricey.
When on the journey to doing your most creative work, life somehow seems to get very simple. You work ridiculously hard, nod off, and wake up to work hard all over again. Monday through Friday are the staple for many, except for entrepreneurs and people who are endeavoring to create something. For the case of those people, Saturday's and Sunday's exist as another two days of opportunity to push ahead.
This is the grind.
It's going to take everything you have. Your vision is going to demand that you put forward your best effort, work yourself past where you assumed your limits were, and to dream as large as you are able to. There's nothing like chasing a dream and riding the roller coaster of exhaustion and pure excitement. But this is how it's really meant to be. It's what comes along with doing what you love.
You also truly have to be willing to hear the small whispers deep within yourself and tune out the negativeness that other people bring to the table. Of course, take the time to listen to those who are endeavoring to give you valuable counsel on your trail, but at the end of the day, you have to make your own calls and advance tenaciously and with tenacity. Because without those traits, you may burn out and struggle to face the inevitable fact of failure. Failure is part of the game and it's there to teach you ways not to do what you have set out to do. Failure serves as a very valuable course adjuster when you are going in the wrong direction.
So embrace the hustle, embrace the grind, and embrace failure. These are all parts of success. Have faith that if you keep going towards what you adore with passion, you will ultimately arrive right where you've got to be.
Invest in the hustle, it will never fail you.
