It sucks more than you think
I don’t think people really understand how much it sucks until they’re in it. When nothing is going right. When you’re doing your best to force it to work, and it still doesn’t. That whole “I’m just going to do it. I’m going to force myself.” Yeah… it’s not easy. It’s almost impossible. But in a weird way, it makes you respect what successful people have achieved. Because deep down, you know they all went through this. It’s lonely. It’s sad. It’s miserable. It’s crushing. You can’t sleep. You can’t eat. Your thoughts spiral. And you start blaming yourself, convinced it’s all your fault. But one thing can change everything: Perception. That tiny idea that maybe something good is coming. You almost have to be delusional to believe that by doing the thing you hate, simply because you hate it, you’ll be blessed with something amazing. That because you didn’t want to show up, it’ll be that much more worth it when it finally pays off. So just make up a reason. Make up a belief you can hold onto, even if it sounds stupid to everyone else. Just one idea that keeps you moving. Dig deep and find a little bit of hope. Hope that you might book one appointment. That you might make one sale. That you might sign one new client. A tiny spark of hope. That’s all you need. Then throw every ounce of faith you have at it, and go.
