When you find something you love to do, go after It with everything you’ve got. It’s not about what you don’t have — money, time, energy, connections — it’s about what you do have — effort. Opportunities and resources are directly related to how much effort you put in. Sure, in everything we do, there is a sprinkle of luck that is involved. The right time, right place and resonance with others, but waiting for the right time is a waste of effort. Unless you are a highly accurate futurist, the “right time” only exists in hindsight. Everything else is educated guesses.
Even if you’re down on your luck, trapped in a hole you dug yourself, lost in the desert known as “what do I️ do with my life?” or roughly translated from Spanish as “how did I️ get here??!”, you still have effort.
Effort is how we can overcome any setback or obstacles we will face in life.
Doing instead of wishing.
Trying instead of dreaming.
Leaping instead of fearing.
Wishing for change is like wishing for bagels — nothing changes and there are no bagels.
If you want a bagel, you have to go out there and get one yourself.
The more non-stop your effort is, the quicker feedback you’ll have on what’s working and what’s not working.
Non-stop effort gives you the experience and practice you need to reach mastery.
Stay BOLD, Keep Pursuing,
And wherever you are, keep smiling 🙂
