I believe in effort.

And showing up every day.

And never giving up.

And making sacrifices.

And doing the work even when you don’t feel like it.

I subscribe to the hustle.

But I do NOT subscribe to misery.

If putting a lot of effort into your goal makes you miserable, you need a new goal.

When you choose a goal you love working on, it feels good to make a sacrifice. It feels like exactly what you’re supposed to be doing.

The hustle IS the flow.

The effort IS the enjoyment.

The work IS the play.

The dictionary defines hustle as "energetic action". But nowhere in it does it say anything about self-destruction.

Hustling doesn't mean pain.

It means gifting yourself your full potential.
