We want it all. We want to be the best. We want to be both financially and emotionally independent. But very few are willing to go the distance. Very few are willing put in the work. That has to change.
The cycle of life doesn’t always land on rosy. And more often than you think, it rains.
We fall. We fail. We doubt. We suffer. But your dreams are always at the end of the road.
Decide now what it is that you want. And make a commitment to chase it all costs.
You’ll meet sacrifice, pain, and shades of misery. That’s a given. But the length of your meetings are entirely up to you.
With every success comes a night of unheard tears.
How far are you willing to go?
Show me your scars and I’ll show you your success.

Bud,
But do we need to suffer for our dreams? I was recently introduced to the concept that pain is necessary but suffering isn’t. It has totally blown me away and made me re-evaluate a lot of things. It’s made me realise that I will experience pain and receive scars in pursuit of my dreams but I don’t need to suffer to do so. Suffering extends the meeting of sacrifice, pain and shades of misery.
This is powerful and moving

Hey Tabitha, you bring up a good point, and perhaps my use of the word suffer is a bit extreme. I think you catch my drift though, pain although uncomfortable, is nothing to be afraid of.
Woah! Bud did you make that yourself “Show me your scars and I’ll show you your success.”
Great quote!
Alex, I’m fairly sure I’ve heard a similar phrase, but it just came to me when I was writing.
