Dreams are free. Hustle however, is sold separately. Boy is it pricey.
When you're on the trail to doing your most creative work, life appears to get reasonably simple. You work insanely hard, fall asleep, and awaken to work hard all over again. Monday through Friday are the staple for many, except for entrepreneurs and people who are trying to create something. For the case of those people, Saturday's and Sunday's exist as another 2 days of opportunity to get ahead.
This is the grind.
It's going to take everything you've got. 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 big as you possibly can. 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 need to be content to really listen the small whispers deep inside yourself and tune out the negativity that other people bring to the table. Of course, spend a little bit of time to hear out people who are endeavoring to give you valuable counsel on your trail, but in the final analysis, you have to make your own decisions and move forward confidently and with tenacity. Because without those character traits, you will burn out and struggle to face the unavoidable fact of failure. Failure is an element of the game and it's there to teach you specific 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 at what you are passionate about with zeal, you'll at last arrive right where you need to be.
Invest in the hustle, it will never disappoint you.
