I know this quote sounds like I’m letting you pat yourself on the back, and yes, that’s literally what I intend to do by sending this message out there. I noticed that the competition in the world these days is so high, and most people all over the world are working hard to make a living, support their family, achieve their dreams, and well, for most, just keeping up to survive, so they don’t even have time to notice how much effort they put into things. Yeah, I know for some, quitting is not even an option because of families depending on their showing up, but I just want you to know that you are a champ for carrying all your present responsibilities on your back.
Why am I making a big deal out of this?
I learned that the normal human brain has some level of resistance it puts up whenever it’s presented with a task with less dopamine (feel-good chemical in the brain). I don’t know about you, but waking up to do stuff I don’t love just to pay bills because I got no option, and that’s where life placed me growing up, will bring loads of resistance. I know we have been taught to do what we love, but it’s unfortunate that it’s not so practical for everyone in the real world. Everybody would love to do what they love for a living, but in most cases, what you love just can’t pay you at the start, and well, you need to survive, so you have to “grind” at what is boring to you till you make enough income to do what you love.
Aside that, sometimes people are definitely in pursuit of their dreams, but there is always the aspect of every endeavour that will be unpleasant.
Is there really a field that someone would love everything about?
Don’t know the answer to that, and I sincerely have never met someone who one hundred percent loved everything A–Z of their field. If someone like you exists, big respect to you, man, for hitting the jackpot of life. Please show me how…….
Anyways, my point is, life is hard either way, and this is true not just for the poor, but for all. I believe difficulty is relative, although if you ask me, I would choose the difficulty of the rich… haha!!! Not kidding.
Anyone doing something, regardless of what it is, has pushed through the natural resistance life and what our own mind throws our way.
Sickness couldn’t stop you.
Your emotions didn’t finish the job.
Negative comments just showed themselves to the back door a few hours ago… You are still going, and for that, shout out to you!!!!!
