Everyone preaches hard work.
You should “love the grind” as they put it– but if you’re not seeing any returns in life then fuck your hustle.
And you most likely won’t if you’re destiny stealing.
I don’t believe in numbers 2-10. Everyone is a one, every single one of us has a path, it’s your life– how could you not?
I think the real challenge of today is not so much finding it, but staying the course. There’s so many cool things out there, and the second yours turns meh– you’ll be tempted to leave. And that would be the biggest mistake.
It’s not that it doesn’t take some work, but it definitely won’t be as hard as the rest of life. When you’re on your path things go smoother. Life still happens, but becomes far more manageable.
So, how do you get off the struggle bus? Firstly, stop watching gurus.
Those guys are irrelevant idiots who fog your mind with motivational garbage and flood your system with junk info. You need to reconnect with yourself and if you’re not one to journal and ponder, just give yourself some silence. Go do something solo.
It’s also worth mentioning, the more serious you take this –the less likely you are to see any success.
When I obsessed over finding my life’s work, I somehow moved far as shit away from it. That mindset guarantees never finding it.
It takes playfulness and objectivity.
Being playful will open your curiosity and being objective will get you practical.
What I’m doing now is what I did as a kid, it’s who I am. BUT I would have never chosen this myself, I only landed here when I let go of trying to find it.
It doesn’t take years of searching or hard work, or sacrifice and being broke.
That’s those damn goo-roos selling courses who gave you that idea. I found this path and got on it in one day.
It looked like this:
- Realization came, I’m delusional (we all are). So, I can’t see reality and I keep chasing random moments of happiness that end very badly for me.
- I’m moody and extreme, which often leads to me withdrawing from life. But I know my skills are good for certain creative fields– so with these two traits: Where could I go where I’d stick?
- What could I do no matter what?
- Landed on writing.
- Launched a blog and had a rule that I had to post every single day. This led to scoring a client, this led to grabbing a career.
That’s the path.
It’s not oversimplified. What could you do on your own right now, that you could stick with?
The answer to that is the start of your path.
