everyone hits a point where they drop their pen, pause, and ask themselves why they’re putting themselves through so much. what’s the point in working yourself so hard? what’s the point anymore?

hard work pays off. 

we all could just stop. we all could just give up and decide this is good enough, half-assing it will do, but we can do so much better. what is the point in life if you don’t give it your all in what you do? the potential within you is endless and once you tap into it you’re unstoppable, so why would you not do the absolute best job that you can and end up with no regret?

we all have dreams, and dreams can come true. i don’t say simply “dreams come true,” because dreams don’t come true unless you work for them. if you sit around doing nothing when you could be improving yourself, you’re not going to go anywhere in life. that’s not to say that rest is unnecessary (rest is so important take it when necessary ok listen to me on that), but having your whole life on pause because you don’t feel like doing work is nonsense.

life is so precious, and we all have the opportunity to make what we want of it. working hard now is what pushes us into a better future. each day that you have is a building block into what we become later, so take every opportunity at hand and utilize it. you’re going to do such amazing things in life if you put the time and effort into it, i promise. good things come to good people and that’s a phrase i live by. The great thing about hard work is what you put into it is what you get out of it, so give it your all and it’ll give you its all. I believe in you.

Don’t let life pass you by and realize you settled for average. Live your life knowing that you never settled; you rose to the top through your own hard work and solely yours. Be proud of yourself for that.
