You work hard.
You’ve been working hard for a long time now —
but sometimes it might not feel like all of your effort has paid off.
Struggle, pain, frustration, time, up-hill battles, treading water, incremental improvements, grit, resistance..
Here’s the thing —
If your effort impacts even one person for the better,
you’ve done your job well +
Each time I hear from someone who was moved by my writing, I know my time has been well spent. This helps keep me persisting, and improving.
One person impacted — big or small — makes it all worth it +
One person changed reframes the struggle we go through.
Remember that.
Work towards that if you’re not.
Put some Elbow Grease on it +
