We’ve all either said or been told that we couldn’t give a sh*t at one point or another.
Maybe even that we couldn’t give two sh*ts.
The grass is always greener on the other side…of everything.
And that’s because we don’t pay attention to the work that others are putting into their actions.
We see life through a critical lens.
We aspire to overnight success, but turn a blind eye to the decades of sweat equity that goes into falling into that “lucky moment.”
The truth of the matter is that it takes a lot of crap to make greener grass.
Don’t let a critic determine your value. As long as you keep working, you’re building the foundation for whatever you do next.
Don’t let that downstreamer mentality pollute your outlook.
When your job keeps you from your career, you’re in the wrong field.
And you’re not fooling anyone.
Small market prodigy isn’t a name plate people hang on their shingle.
Put the work in.
Don’t worry about what others are doing, or what they say about your failures.
Keep at the work.
Lots of people talk about the 1,000 attempts that Thomas Edison put into light bulbs before he got the first one to work as the benchmark of perseverance.
But you know what, people still create new lightbulbs.
That’s not to say that you shouldn’t put the time in to your endeavors.
It is to say that the craft of your work is never done.
Physicians’ work is called “practice”.
Never stop practicing.
Don’t let your hope for one project hold you back from becoming accomplished in your field.
See you out there.
