The Hardest Thing…


The hardest thing is to create a productive schedule for yourself, especially when you realize that no one else is going to give you one.

The hardest thing is to ignore the words of the naysayers, even when the thought of halting everything sounds soothing.

The hardest thing is to pick up new skills on our own time, even if the usage or results don’t pay off immediately.

The hardest thing is to quit routine and dependence, even if the shock of self-reliance creates a sense of self-doubt.

But, what I’ve found, is that most of that doesn’t matter.  Because, very few people get what they deserve.

From concept to market, holding to lifting or walking to sprinting, the only actual hard thing is to keep moving.  The excuses we make for ourselves are typically not excuses; they’re just mental road blocks we create to avoid temporary struggle, while we ignore the prize of individuality at the end of the road.
