It's Harder Than You Think

The journey ahead of you is much harder than you think. 

It's going to take way longer than you think.

...and it's going to require way more of you than you think.

The sooner you can come to terms with this...

The better.

The reality of what it takes is far out of line with what society will tell you to expect.

Allow me to set the record straight...

Nothing is quick.

Nothing is instant.

Nothing is pain-free.

Nothing is easy.

Nothing happens overnight.

If you are trying to accomplish anything of significance in life...

That's the way it is.

...and anything else you've been told or believe about success is false.

It's hard as fuck.

Expect it to be and focus on building yourself into someone who is capable of pushing through the hardship.

You can either step up to the challenge... 

Or you can step down from it by quitting and starting something new every single time shit gets hard.

Those are your only two options.

Don't be left wondering what could have been because of your own unwillingness to embrace the challenges and hardship that you are presented with along the way.

It's unavoidable.

Spare yourself the frustration and be prepared for it.

As hard as it may be...

It's worth it.
