In life you will always experience pain. Pursuing your dreams needless to say comes with a lot of pain, struggle and adversity. Likewise, pain arises if you just say 'fuck it' and live an unfulfilled life where you risk not living up to your potential.

Most people don't realize that pain is absolutely necessary if you're going to be great at any one thing. It doesn't matter how much you love something, it takes work, perseverance, and discipline to become exceptional at it.

Certain sacrifices have to be made in order to go beyond the norm when it comes to any pursuit. Laziness and leisure activities have to be snuffed out a fairly large degree, some relationships need to be pushed back, and failure has to be overcome.
