How long are you willing to push?

‍

How long are you willing to push?

‍

How far are you willing to go?

‍

How much suffering are you willing to endure?

‍

That’s what it takes to accomplish your dreams.

‍

Pain.

‍

Suffering.

‍

Loneliness.

‍

Work.

‍

Consistency.

‍

Discipline.

‍

Luck.

‍

All of it.

‍

For longer than you think.

‍

Can you do it?

‍

Are you cut out for it?

‍

I’m not sure.

‍

You’re weak.

‍

You’re lazy.

‍

You’re comfortable.

‍

What struggle have you endured?

‍

Relatively?

‍

Sure to you it feels like a lot.

‍

But it’s nothing.

‍

Victor Frankl survived Auschwitz during the Holocaust.

‍

Do you have that in you?

‍

Can your purpose guide you through the darkest moments in history?

‍

That’s what it will take.

‍

The world is about to go through some shit.

‍

The next decade is gonna be tough.

‍

Worse than we’ve seen.

‍

Maybe for our parents’ entire lifetimes.

‍

Are you ready?

‍

Are you ready to be adaptable?

Are you ready to sacrifice everything?

‍

Are you ready to show up no matter the circumstances?

‍

That’s what it will take.

‍

Everything you’re doing now is easy.

‍

It’s easy to do all of this when the world is doing fine.

‍

Can you do this when the world is going to shit?

‍

We’ll see.

‍

I don’t know.

‍

I’ve been working at this my whole life.

‍

I’ve been trying.

‍

I’ve been showing up, no matter the outcome.

‍

Coming back to write.

‍

Again.

‍

And again.

‍

And again.

‍

Is this going anywhere?

‍

I don’t know.

‍

I do know what I’ve done.

‍

800 blog posts in a few years isn’t a small feat.

‍

1700+ days writing in a journal isn’t bad.

‍

It’s not nothing.

‍

Does that mean I’m good?

‍

Hard to say.

‍

Depends on the person.

‍

To me, I am.

‍

I’m getting better.

‍

I’m better than who I was yesterday.

‍

That’s it.

‍

That’s all you want.

‍

Nothing more.

‍

The world doesn’t want anything more than your best.

‍

That’s it.

‍

But it does need it.

‍

It’s fucking dying for it.

‍

Please show up.

‍

Please do it.

‍

Please try.

‍

We need it.

‍

We need your creativity.

‍

We need your voice.

‍

We need you.

‍

Success isn’t for everyone.

‍

It’s for the special few who decide to endure more pain and work than others.

‍

Be one of them.

‍

How long are you willing to push?

‍

Till I die.
