“The beauty of pain, not only is it temporary...is it tells you when you begin to give enough of yourself in pursuit of your dreams. If the work hasn't hurt or cost you anything, or at least made you uncomfortable, then I'm sorry to be the one to tell you but you're not working hard enough, or sacrificing all that you could to be all you can be.” -Arnold Schwarzenegger (Be Useful)
Anything worth fighting for should feel hard. It doesn’t matter what talents you have or how much of a genius you are, if you aren’t working hard to achieve your goal and you somehow stumble upon it by luck, you’re going to have a bad time.
When they say life is about the Journey, not the destination, it means that life means nothing if you don’t grow because of it. If you don’t get experience by being the places you are now, experiencing the experiences you are experiencing, then why are you even trying?
Safe and secure, shut out from the world, is never the right answer. Sure it’s messy out there, sure, sometimes we don’t know what to do or how to handle what we are feeling, but if you don’t even try, what even is this life anyways?
So go build something, or visit a friend, or comment on this post. Whatever you do, do it with the intention that you will try and do more for the world instead of trying to take your ball and go home.
Until Tomorrow,
