It’s so easy to look at those around you or in the media and wish that you were them. You had their life along with their apparent success. You’ve been trying for a year or two to make it work and it feels at times especially when you compare yourself to others that you are hovering in the “infant” phase, still trying to figure out how to crawl.

It’s easy for us to the “success’” of an individual and want it… but are we willing to go through the failures, heartache, tough decisions and drama too that they went through to reach it? What you see is an end result. Many years… often lot’s of tears and long nights mixed in what I consider the ultimate hustle.

You see the result of determination.

You see the result of hard work.

Most don’t see that result in their own life… simply because they are not willing to put in the hard work. Or rather, they are not willing to do whatever it takes. They are not. They want to start and be at the finish line seconds later. I am sorry it doesn't work that way. It just doesn’t. There are no short cuts to the finish line. There is no way around it… the only way to reach that destination called success is to be on the journey and go through the failures, lessons, long nights, tears and hustle to get there.
