We live in a world where most only see the surface. Elite athletes have best genetics. Successful business people had a lot luck. Happy people have easy stressfree lives. And so on go the scripts in people’s minds. Don’t get sucked into this false impression of reality. Your work in the shadows is what creates the light. There is no one who has a straight lined stressfree easy journey through life. It doesn’t happen. There are inevitable challenges for all. In life you mostly get what you deserve. You earn success whatever that means to you. Anything worth achieving takes hard work, consistency, desire, self belief and patience. This is why majority don’t experience the life they want and why they happily console their “bad luck” with scripts about those who do. If you want something then put the work in. Put the time and energy in. Leave no stone unturned in making dreams reality. Overcome all obstacles. There’s always a solution. See those experiencing their best lives as proof it can be done. Get away from begrudging mentality. You earn success. Remind yourself regularly that your work in the shadows is what creates they light.
